Agent's Office Lyrics

You got a felony rap against you
And that automatically revokes your license in New York, you know that?
No, I didn't know that
And if you're not working in New York, you're nothing
Give me an idea, give me a suggestion, I'll work with you
I love your work, what can I do?
Let's kick it around

All right, think about it
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute
Did you ever hear of any agent in the world booking a jazz singer into Carnegie hall?
I'll have the newspaper guys, the magazine fellows, the radio, the newsreel

And, Billie, when that curtain goes down on your opening night
You're gonna hear a noise that'll shake that frigging place
Then show me the license commissioner with the courage
Who would dare not to give you back your license, that audience will tear him into bits

Billie, you gonna do it
What do you think?
You couldn't do that for me, could you?
You've made a deal
