Lyrics
He's an authority figure
In a white linen suit
He knows what he's talking about
And he's telling the truth
He's got that cartoon voice
And that curly white hair
It's always "hey lady" at some woman
A salesman beyond compare
He offers his new slogan
About that country good meal
Then he'll prank some bus boy
Whose shortcomings revealed
He'll shriek and he'll haw
And put on a big show
While he's earning your business
And raking in the dough
He's Papa Doc and Gene Autry
He's Cezzanne and Babe Ruth
He's Tolstoy and he's Basie
He's conjecture and the truth
He's Peron and he's Rodin
He's Machiavelli and Milton Berle
He's Nijinsky and he's Einstein
He's the oyster and the pearl
He's Dillinger and Danny Kaye
He's Valentino and Rivera
He's Jerry Lewis and The Colonel
He sells you then he scares ya
He plays you while he feeds you
He dances with a ladle
He's riffing on your preferences
That you had since the cradle
He's looking to make his entrance
And he strides into the place
His white hair and white suit
Now he's making his case
He's Papa Doc and Gene Autry
He's Cezzanne and Babe Ruth
He's Tolstoy and he's Basie
He's conjecture and the truth
He's Peron and he's Rodin
He's Machiavelli and Milton Berle
He's Nijinsky and he's Einstein
He's the oyster and the pearl
He's Dillinger and Danny Kaye
He's Valentino and Rivera
He's Jerry Lewis and The Colonel
He sells you then he scares ya
He's looking for an opening
An invitation to step inside
Right into your kitchen
There ain't no place to hide
He's got all the fixins
He's got both hot and cold
He knows just what you like
He's selling and you're sold
He's Papa Doc and Gene Autry
He's Cezzanne and Babe Ruth
He's Tolstoy and he's Basie
He's conjecture and the truth
He's Peron and he's Rodin
He's Machiavelli and Milton Berle
He's Nijinsky and he's Einstein
He's the oyster and the pearl
He's Dillinger and Danny Kaye
He's Valentino and Rivera
He's Jerry Lewis and The Colonel
He sells you then he scares ya
