Jane Siberry - Extra Executives

Blowing kisses off his face
Like flies - like little flies
Blowing like a grouper fish
Floating through the reefs

His card says “executive”
But it mumbles “just a salesman”
He’s not sure just who you are
But you might be a good connection

Extra executives with a general desire
Extra executives with a general desire
General desire
General desire
He took a course in sales
He’s never been the same

A certain way to do things
Respect for expectations
His bank gets a promotion
But his brain gets a vacation
He’s looking over your shoulder
At the party for a person
Who will change his life

Reward him somehow
Hey ... I’m talking to you

Extra executives ...

One time ... grouper fish

Everything’s an exercise
For the extra executive
He’s not sure just who you are
But you might be a good connection

Blowing kisses off his face
Like flies ... like little flies
Blowing like a grouper fish
Floating through the reefs

Waiting for that special deal in the sky
That he never has to trade in
The telephone call that never comes
The letter’s not in the letterbox
The handshake that will close the deal
The telegram that will change his life

Extra executives with a general desire ...
He took a course in sales
He’s never been the same
