Words and music by John Kay      I was told I had to grease his palm   To walk from school without the fear of harm   He knocked me down and took my dollar from me   And then he lay these pearls of wisdom on me      He say; Business is business, nothing is free   Business is business, don't you blame me   Business is business, you've got to pay   Business is business, can't get away   Business is business, a man's gotta live   And what I can take is more than you'd give      Nothing has changed since I left school behind   The bullies now just all wear suits and ties   They'll buy you lunch to get that dollar from you   And then they'll lay the mumbo-jumbo on you      Business is business, nothing is free   Business is business, don't you blame me   Business is business, you've got to pay   Business is business. can't get away   Business is business, don't call me a crook   It's perfectly legal, I go by the book      ?1977 Rambunctious Music (ASCAP)
