I want a job that's not too demandin'
Like where you got to do a lot of standin'
No way to be an elevator operator
No way a salesman, no way a waiter
'Cause I'm a gentleman
A gentleman of leisure

The classified ads got nothin' too appealin'
I don't know but I've just got the feelin'
It might take a while to find a position
With a pretty secretary and time to do some fishin'
'Cause I'm a gentleman
Gentleman of leisure

[Chorus]
I'm a gentleman
A gentleman of leisure
Sеt me in the sun
Gentlеman of leisure
Let me take my time
Bet you I can please ya

Forty hour week (Can ya make it thirty?)
No heavy liftin' (Get yourself dirty)
Beautiful office (37th floor)
Paintings on the wall (sign on the door saying)
Gentleman of leisure
You know, I look nice in a clean white collar
Take home pay, oh, say a million dollars
I'll keep lookin', never say die
Cause somebody somewhere is lookin' for a guy
Who's a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure

[Chorus]
Oh I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure
Set me in the sun
Gentleman of leisure
Let me take my time
Bet you I can please ya

[Spoken]
Now I'm not looking for a high tech position
I'm thinking of something more like work on the beach
Oh, ma'am, could I help you put that suntan lotion on your back?
Now we're talking. That's the kind of work I like
Mmm, dog walking. I can do that
Play chess down on Lakeshore Boulevard
Looking good
Yes, I was a lifeguard once
