Peter Cousens - The Transaction lyrics

[ENGINEER] Hey monsieur John, how'd you like to get rich Go home in style. . .? [JOHN] Yeah okay, what's the pitch? [ENGINEER] A U.S. visa to help me out Lend me a bit of your emba**y clout [JOHN] There isn't a chance pal, you're too well known Look, what I want is that girl in the dress [ENGINEER] You have a good eye Her name is Kim, she's my new princess You give her a try? [JOHN] It's my friend Chris Who's the one feeling down [MARINE] I ordered a beer! [ENGINEER] She'll get him up It's her first night in town But I have to warn you She don't come cheap It's got to be twenty for my princess [JOHN] Twenty dollars?? [ENGINEER] She's sort of a virgin, well more or less For twenty more you get a room and key For fifty bucks, she's got the whole night free [MARINES] No one gives us a buzz Like the Engineer does [JOHN approaches CHRIS with Kim] [JOHN] Stop drooling white boy You're losing your cool You like this jail bait [CHRIS] John, open your eyes This is the end of the line This whole rotten scene This little girl, we could be in the sack For what it costs me to buy a big mac John, it's time to go back - You know what I mean [JOHN] I'm starting to cry pal You're so out of touch The trouble with you is you think too much Oh Ol' Dr. John knows what you need alright I've bought you a present She yours all night [MARINES] No one gives you a hit like the Engineer's sh**!! [Across the room, the ENGINEER speaks to KIM.] [ENGINEER] See little princess, I was right You got the biggest score tonight You caught that sergeant by the nose You stay with him until he goes Call him Chris He'll like that [KIM] That marine Wants his beer [ENGINEER] You said you needed a job You said you'd turn a trick You'd better prove it, and quick! [He leads KIM to CHRIS] [ENGINEER] Voila!
