lyrics

"That next morning, the sun shone, and the first shift had a quite a surprise when they found Turnbolt. Little did Tommy know, a mysterious woman, a consultant, was headed to the store, straight for our clerk."


I was working hourly
When you came in the door to me
I scanned all your merchandise
I could see you were unsatisfied

And you stood near the big TVs
A 10 in your mid-fifties
Or maybe you're old as time
Your skin tight as apple wine

5-year plan protection
No money down
I know what you want
Look at your reflection
That's not who you are
I know who you are

Treat me like the back of your hand
Pencil in a one night stand
I know I shouldn't say this
You're never going to guess who I am

I asked "Can I help you out"
You took a cover letter out and
asked for the manager
I said "I'm the manager"

You looked at me silver-eyed
And asked me to sign the line
You'd make me a bigger star
If I come to your seminar

At the breakout session
Will I sign my life away
Can there be exceptions
It's an indiscretion
A contract clause
to play Outlaw

Can I trust the Regency White?
On the corner near the Binson light?
Crunching all these numbers
sleeping in the office tonight

Treat me like the back of your hand
Pencil in a one night stand
I know I shouldn't say this
you're never gonna guess who I am



"But Tommy didn't want to be an ordinary Blue Shirt
And he didn't want to disappear like his dad, either.
So, for once in his life, Tommy Turnbolt took a chance."
