lyrics

Ooh wah ooh wah – ah ah shang a lang
Ooh wah ooh wah – ah ah shang a lang

Make it look like stock is moving, shift around the cars
Hot air to spare for balloons, come join the salesman party
12 hours a day all commission, can’t break the drought
Dealership lets me draw against them it’s a bucket you can’t get out of

CHORUS
Trust me, I know what I’m/talking about
(He’s a king in his caryard corner)
Trust me, I know what I’m/talking about
(He can sell a lemon in a citrus orchard)

You can puppy-dog the car, won’t make up his mind
Loan it to him overnight, works every time
Friends n neighbours will fuss, save you lots of trouble
He’ll fall in love with the car, he’s a kid bringing home a puppy

CHORUS

Ooh wah ooh wah – ah ah shang a lang
Ooh wah ooh wah – ah ah shang a lang

Carrying car specs and clippings, the professor with his notes
And this one has no credit rating, you can’t sell to a ghost
Another one-legged shopper, waste of time and space
Has to go home, check everything with the ol’ ball and chain

Some walk in customers don’t wanna be approached
Grunt and turn their backs, just gotta let’m go
Feel free to browse, wander up and down
When they hover near a car, there’s a sucker you can pounce on

CHORUS
