Testo I Mean Business - Elton John
Testo della canzone I Mean Business (Elton John), tratta dall'album The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical
Growing up across the Hudson, I stared out of my window
Every night at the Manhattan skyline
Reading the Sunday Times with the light under the covers
I dreamed of having my own byline
So I studied my butt off at Rutgers
Ran the student gazette and got my honors degree
I got a shoebox apartment in Bushway
It can barely fit a futon, but it worked for me
I'm ready to work
I'm hot off the press
I'm gonna write my own ticket to success
I'm gonna find my beat
And show the city I mean business
I mean business, oh yeah
I mean business, yes I do
I mean business, New York City
I mean business, oh yeah
I mean business, yes I do
I mean business, New York City
And I will work
And I will work my way back to you
Walkin' east on 42nd
It's like all of a sudden
Every light, it's turnin' green for me now
I got my good-luck notebook for my interview this mornin'
'Cause I'm a little buzzed to be now
Sure, this magazine is only for fashion
But it'll cover my rent and get my foot in the door
And my brilliant adopting will soon be resulting
In a monumental story they can now ignore
I'm ready to work
I'm hot off the press
I'm gonna write my own ticket to success
I'm gonna find my beat
And show this city I mean business
I mean business, oh yeah
I mean business, yes I do
I mean business, New York City
I mean business, oh yeah
I mean business, yes I do
I mean business, New York City
And I will work
And I will work my way back to you
And by the time that I'm 24, the New Yorker will promote me
And before I turn 28, every late night show will quote me
Pull at the prize winner Andy Sachs
Exposing corruption, I'm bringing the facts
Like Gloria Steinem in her prime
Changing the world, one page at a time
I mean business, oh yes
I mean business through and through
I mean business, New York City
I mean business, oh yes
Serious business through and through
So we're in business, New York City
'Cause I, oh yes I
I got work to do
I got work to do
I got work to do
I got work to do
I got work to do
