RAINCOAT
SALESMAN (Robert J. Purvis)
[Live on WCMF-FM in Rochester, November 5, 1975]
With a plastic mac hanging on my back
Oh, I hate these rainy days
In the early hours when no one wants to know
Have I really got a worthwhile job
Is this the life for me?
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
As I walk along my path
And after all, it's just a job
No one wants to buy the things I have to sell
Did this really take four years to learn?
And was I meant to be
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
Dai dai dai dai dum
Dai dai dai dai dum
Dai dai dai dai dai dai dum
Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dum
Did this really take four years to learn?
And was I meant to be
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
Is it wrong to feel discouraged when they utter "not today"
Should I worry if I never make a sale?
Have I really got a worthwhile job?
Is this the life for me?
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
A raincoat salesman
