Glamour Boy

The Guess Who

Written by Burton Cummings



Glamour boy

Get your costume on, you got 'em lined up, waitin' for you

Glamour boy

You got 'em standin' in the aisles so don't hang 'em up



For twenty-five thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight

For twenty-five thousand dollars I think it'll work out right

I think it'll work out, uh-hah

I think it'll work out, oh, you never know how to write it

Think it'll work out



Glamour boy

You been tops for a while with a million-dollar smile

Glamour boy

You got rave reviews and you're front-page news



For thirty-seven thousand dollars you can look like your sister tonight

For thirty-seven thousand dollars I think it'll work out right

I think it'll work out, uh-hah

I think it'll work out, oh, you never know how you'll write it

Think it'll work out



So spin with the archer now

And laugh in his face as he cocks his bow

Steal from his mistress

As she's makin' love to your family

And be aware that there's not many there

Who want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more

C'mon, take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

Don't you wanna take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight



{spoken}

Ladies and gentlemen, a warm ???? welcome, if you will, for the most

phenominal group of the century... Ricky and The Balloons!!



Glamour boy

You really had your fill and it's all downhill

Glamour boy

You got tales to tell when you see your old friends



For forty-nine thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight

For forty-nine thousand dollars I think it'll work out right

I think it'll work out, uh-hah

I think it'll work out, oh, you never know how you'll write it

Think it'll work out



So spin with the archer now

And laugh in his face as he cocks his bow

Steal from his mistress

As she's makin' love to your family

And be aware that there's not many there

Who want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more

Don't you wanna take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more

Don't you wanna try and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

You can't fool 'em

Take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

They're gettin' smarter

Take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

Don't you wanna try and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

C'mon and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

Mmm, take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
