Lyrics Phil Stacey

Phil Stacey

It's Who You Know

The quarterback down at the school

Makes all the rules

'Cause he's super cool

And everybody wants to be

just like him

There's a little girl in his

homeroom class

Sits in the back

'Cause she thinks she's fat

And lookin' for a corner she

can hide in

Well, in life there ain't too many

level playin' fields

It don't seem fair

But here's the deal

Buddy, here's the deal

You can walk on water

You can walk on the moon

You can walk through Memphis

Wearin' blue suede shoes

When the walkin' is over

At the end of the road

It ain't what you've done, son

It's who you know - yeah, it's

who you know

Meet the man who owns it all

Well, that's him there on the lobby wall

Now don't it look like

He's been carved from granite

His hands are soft, his heart is hard

And he only smokes the best cigars

And you'll call him Sir

Because he's earned it, man

Got a little old lady

Cleans up after him at night

She prays someday he'll see the light

Well, I think she's got it right

Oh, it ain't what you've done, son

It's who you know - yeah, yeah it's who you know

Oh, oh, oh
