Steely Dan – Glamour Profession Lyrics

Rock

Six so fine
Outside the stadium
Special delivery
For Hoops McCann
Brutal charisma
Born from the shadow where he stood
Lookin' good
He's a crowd pleasin' man

One and one
The schoolyard superman
Crashing the backboard
Is Jungle Jim
When it's all over
We'll make some calls from my car
For a star

It's a glamour profession
The L.A. concession
Local boys spend a quarter
Just to shine the silver ball
Livin' hard will take its toll
Illegal fun (Illegal fun)
Under the sun, boys

All aboard
The Carib Cannibal
Off to Barbados
Just for the ride
Jack, with his radar
Stalking the dread moray eel
At the wheel
Living so Asian bright

On the town
Dressed for action
Celluloid bikers
Astride his steed
And I drove the Chrysler
And watched from the darkness while they danced
I'm the one

It's a glamour profession
I'm the one
The L.A. concession
Local boys spend a quarter
Just to shine the silver ball
Livin' hard will take its toll
Illegal fun (Illegal fun)
Under the sun, boys

Hollywood
I know your name
Who inspires your fable fools
That's my claim to fame

Jive Miguel
He's in from Bogota
Meet me at midnight
At Mister Chow's
Sichuan dumplings
Now that the deal has been done
I'm the one

It's a glamour profession
I'm the one
The L.A. concession
Local boys spend a quarter
Just to shine the silver ball
Livin' hard will take its toll
Illegal fun (Illegal fun)
Under the sun, boys
Illegal fun (Illegal fun)
Under the sun, boys
