Importin' Exportin' Man

Lyrics: Dave Torbert, Tim Hovey
Music: Dave Torbert, Tim Hovey

Well he's done a lot of travelling, trying to bring the best to you
You can see him in New Delhi, or even maybe Katmandu
He got a nose for the business, it won't go wrong
He's very glad to meet you, he can't stay long
OK Sam, important exportin' man

He smiles his way across the border, just heard from him in Mexico
I'm gonna rush him down my order, he knows just where to go
He runs a mail order service, just for you
If he can't send it, he'll bring it through
OK Sam, important exportin' man

He's getting up this morning and pulling on his persian gloves
He'll be a-sniffing round the market to buy the things you love
He got a nose for the business, it won't go wrong
He's very glad to meet you, he can't stay long
OK Sam, important exportin' man

He's OK Sam, important exportin' man
