Bad Buisness Man

Squirrel Nut Zippers · Other Songs - Squirrel Nut Zippers

There's a man going around town

Spreading lies

He's the bad businessman

Does his business while he can

He just does his business bad.



He's a clown

Gonna get bounced around

If he don't keep his business underground

He's a player

And everytime he deals a round

It's just a bad hand

What a bad man.

Beware of what he sells

Surely go straight to hell.

T'aint no bottom in that wishing well.
