I want a job that's not too demandin'
Where you do, a lot of standin'
Don't want to be an elevator operator
No way a salesman, no way a waiter
Cause I'm a gentleman,
A gentleman of leisure
I'm a gentleman
A gentleman of leisure
Let me take my time
Betcha I can please ya
I'm a gentleman
A gentleman of leisure
Classified ads don't look too appealin'
I don't know but I've got this feelin'
Might take awhile to find a position
With a pretty secretary and some time to go fishin'
I'm a gentleman
A gentleman of leisure
40 hour week, could ya make it 30?
No heavy liftin', I get myself dirty
Beautiful office, 37th floor
Tiles on the roof and sign up on the door that says,
Gentleman of leisure
(You understand why I like this song? It fits the twilight of my career.)
Hey! I look nice in a clean white collar
Take home pay, oh, say a million dollars
I keep lookin', I'll never stay down
Cause somebody somewhere is lookin' for a guy
Who's a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure
I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure
Set me in the sun
Baby, I will please ya
Cause I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure
I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) è stato un cantautore, musicista e scrittore statunitense, noto per il suo stile musicale definito "Parrothead", che fonde elementi di country, folk, rock e calypso. Nato a Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse località degli Stati Uniti prima di stabilirsi a Key West, Florida, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70. Il suo successo è legato a brani come "Margaritaville", "Come Monday" e "Cheeseburger in Paradise", che hanno reso Buffett un'icona della cultura americana, associata a un'atmosfera rilassata e paradisiaca. Oltre alla musica, Buffett ha scritto diversi libri di narrativa e saggistica, tra cui il best-seller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". La sua musica e la sua personalità hanno ispirato una vasta community di fan, i "Parrotheads", che celebrano la vita semplice e l'amore per le vacanze. Buffett è morto nel 2023 all'età di 76 anni.
