IMPORTANT EXPORTIN' MAN

(DAVE TORBERT/ TIM HOVEY)

WELL HE'S DONE A LOT OF TRAVELIN' TRYIN' TO BRING THE BEST TO YOU
YOU CAN SEE HIM IN NEW DELHI OR EVEN MAYBE KATMANDU
HE GOT A NOSE FOR THE BUSINESS IT WON'T GO WRONG
HE'S VERY GLAD TO MEET YOU HE CAN'T STAY LONG
O.K. SAM IMPORTANT EXPORTIN' MAN

HE SMILES HIS WAY ACROSS THE BORDER JUST HEARD FROM HIM IN MEXICO
I'M GONNA RUSH HIM DOWN MY ORDER HE KNOWS JUST WHERE TO GO
HE RUNS A MAIL ORDER SERVICE JUST FOR YOU
IF HE CAN'T SEND IT HE'LL BRING IT THROUGH
O.K. SAM IMPORTANT EXPORTIN' MAN

HE'S GETTING UP THIS MORNING AND PULLIN' ON HIS PERSIAN GLOVES
HE'LL BE A SNIFFIN' ROUND THE MARKET TO BUY THE THINGS YOU LOVE
HE GOT A NOSE FOR THE BUSINESS IT WON'T GO WRONG
HE'S VERY GLAD TO MEET YOU HE CAN'T STAY LONG
O.K. SAM IMPORTANT EXPORTIN' MAN

HE'S O.K. SAM IMPORTANT EXPORTIN' MAN
