Gentleman Of Leisure lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

 (originally by Dan Seals)

I want a job that's not too demandin'

Like where you got to do a lot of standin'

No way to be an elevator operator

No way a salesman, no way a waiter

'Cause I'm a gentleman

A gentleman of leisure

The classified ads got nothin' too appealin'

I don't know but I've just got the feelin'

It might take a while to find a position

With a pretty secretary and time to do some fishin'

'Cause I'm a gentleman

Gentleman of leisure

I'm a gentleman

A gentleman of leisure

Set me in the sun

Gentleman of leisure

Let me take my time

Bet you I can please ya

Forty hour week (Can ya make it thirty?)

No heavy liftin' (Get yourself dirty)

Beautiful office (37th floor)

Paintings on the wall (sign on the door saying)

Gentleman of leisure

You know, I look nice in a clean white collar

Take home pay, oh, say a million dollars

I'll keep lookin', never say die

'Cause somebody somewhere is lookin' for a guy

Who's a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure

Oh I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure

Set me in the sun

Gentleman of leisure

Let me take my time

Bet you I can please ya

Now I'm not looking for a high tech position

I'm thinking of something more like work on the beach

Oh, ma'am, could I help you put that suntan lotion on your back?

Now we're talking. That's the kind of work I like

Mm, dog-walking. I can do that

Play chess down on Lakeshore Boulevard

Looking good

Yes, I was a lifeguard once
