Key: Ab major
Verse 1
G
You know as I travel around over the country and talk to young people,
get work find out who the boss is I
Mean the first day you own the job
you ask them who's the boss
Gm
F
Not too long ago. I was
G
F
in one of the nicest
I got there and a sound man
come to me and said,
Mr.
Clower, I'd like to know how
you want the sound.
I said, fella, you a professional.
You just go ahead and fix the sound like
you want to
and I'm sure it'll be satisfactory.
G
Gm
Directly a guy walked up and said,
G
Mr.
Clower, how you want the lights?
I said,
I don't know nothing about them.
You must be a professional.
or they wouldn't have you hired
here to do these lights.
G
good as you can.
I know you ain't got
much to work with."
He said, well,
thank you, sir.
And about that time the master of
ceremonies that runs the show said,
Mr.
Clowell, would you mind entering the back
door and walking down
through the crowd and coming up on the
stage?
We'd just like for people to do that.
So a lot of artists who
come here refuse to do it.
I said, look fella, I done hired out to y 'all and I
done found out who the boss is and I'm
here to serve you.
I'll be glad to walk through this audience.
He said, good gracious,
no wonder it's so hard to book you.
Well, now that's a
slam against my profession.
So let me tell all you young people and
some of you older ones need to learn it.
Find out who the boss is.
Not too long ago I was visiting
at a great industry
and they invited me to go to the coffee break
and I went in the employees lounge
and that was about a hundred folks in that drinking
coffee and I'm
fellowshipping with them
started about a memorandum that the president of the company
had just written to all the employees.
Gm
And the president of the company had told them,
when you leave the restroom,
And a fellow sitting way over there said,
I have been doing some research,
F
G
and I do believe that I can prove
that cutting the light on and off
so many times a day
may take more energy than if you let
the light burn all the time.
What do you
think
Mr.
Clower? I said well sir who wrote
that memorandum to you?
Said it's
the boss, the president of the company.
Said no it's just one sentence here
when you leave the restroom turn the light
off. I said well sir if I was you I'd go to the restroom and
go to practice and
F
Bb
me some coordinating exercises and I'd be practicing
up with the zipper and down with
the light.
