SONG:Gotta Serve Somebody

You may be an ambassador to england or france,
you may like to gamble, you might like to dance,
you may be the heavyweight champion of the world,
you may be a socialite with a long string of
pearls
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody, well,
it may be the devil or it may be the lord but
you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on
the stage, you might have drugs at your command,
women in a cage, you may be a business man or
some high degree thief, they may call you doctor
or they may call you chief
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody, well,
it may be the devil or it may be the lord but
you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may be a state trooper, you might be a young
turk, you may be the head of some big tv network,
you may be rich or poor, you may be blind or
lame, you may be living in another country under
another name
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody, well,
it may be the devil or it may be the lord but
you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may be a construction worker working on a
home, you may be living in a mansion or you might
live in a dome, you might own guns and you might
even own tanks, you might be somebody's landlord,
you might even own banks
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody, well,
it may be the devil or it may be the lord but
you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride,
you may be a city councilman taking bribes on the
side, you may be workin' in a barbershop, you may
know how to cut hair, you may be somebody's
mistress, may be somebody's heir
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody, well,
it may be the devil or it may be the lord but
you're gonna have to serve somebody.
Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear
silk, might like to drink whiskey, might like to
drink milk, you might like to eat caviar, you
might like to eat bread, you may be sleeping on
the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody, well,
it may be the devil or it may be the lord but
you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may call me terry, you may call me timmy, you
may call me bobby, you may call me zimmy, you may
