What's to understand, I'm a business man
With my pen in my hand
Won't you tell me where to sign?
And I'll help you if I can
If it takes a hundred grand
I've got no money in the bank
I've got no money to spank
Don't think nothing of it
'Cause the profit is my thanks
And you're thick as two short planks
I'm a general commanding the ranks, sir
Oh I say the way you live your life
It leaves a lot to be desired
When I count all the ways
You've tried to live a better life
You never seem to get it right
You never seem to get it right
(Right, right, right, right)
What's to understand, I'm a teaching man
With my pen in my hand
Gonna write a lesson plan
And I'll help you if I can
If it takes a whole lifetime
And nothing personal to you
But I will assess you
Three times a year and in your annual review
And I'll make you see the truth
You learn nothing in life except from that in which you do
Oh I say the way you live your life
It leaves a lot to be desired
When I count all the ways you've tried
You never seem to get it right
♪
What's to understand I'm a gangster man
With my gun in my hand
Gonna kill you where you stand
Just to get what's in your hand
I'll do whatever I can
Oh I say the way you live your life
It leaves a lot to be desired
When I count all the ways you've tried
You never seem to get it right
(Right, right, right, right)
(You never seem to get it right)
(Right, right, right, right)
I'm sailing out to sea
