Glamour Boy Lyrics

Glamour boy
Get your costume on, you got 'em lined up, waitin' for you
Glamour boy
You got 'em standin' in the aisles so don't hang 'em up
For twenty-five thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight
For twenty-five thousand dollars I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-hah
I think it'll work out
Oh, you never know how to write it
Think it'll work out
Glamour boy
You been tops for a while with a million-dollar smile
Glamour boy
You got rave reviews and you're front-page news
For thirty-seven thousand dollars you can look like your sister tonight

For thirty-seven thousand dollars I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-hah
I think it'll work out
Oh, you never know how you'll write it
Think it'll work out
So spin with the archer now
And laugh in his face as he cocks his bow
Steal from his mistress
As she's makin' love to your family
And be aware, that there's not many there
Who want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more
C'mon, take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Don't you want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome, if you will, for the most
phenominal group of the century... Ricky and The Balloons!!
Glamour boy
You really had your fill and it's all downhill
Glamour boy
You got tales to tell when you see your old friends
For forty-nine thousand dollars you can look like a woman tonight
For forty-nine thousand dollars I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-hah
I think it'll work out
Oh, you never know how you'll write it
Think it'll work out
[Chorus: ]
You can't fool 'em
Take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
They're gettin' smarter
Take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Don't you want to try and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
C'mon and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Mmm, take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

The Guess Who

(see Guess Who for the Romanian rapper Laurentiu Mocanu)

The Guess Who is a Canadian rock music band from Winnipeg, Manitoba that was one of the first to establish a major successful following in their own country as well as abroad in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were the first Canadian rock group to have a No.1 hit in the United States ("American Woman," 1970). The band evolved out of Chad Allan and the Impressions (also shortened to The Impressions), a British Invasion styled band fronted by Chad Allan and featuring guitarist Randy Bachman. After their cover of "Shakin' All Over" sold well as a single, their record label released their album with "Guess Who?" written on the cover, hoping to mislead unsuspecting buyers into thinking it was a British band. The name stuck, however, and from then on they were The Guess Who.

Singer/keyboardist Burton Cummings joined upon Allan's departure in 1966, and the band's classic partnership was born. They mixed some jazzy sounds like flute and electric piano into their sound, and scored hits in Canada with "These Eyes", "Undun", and "Laughing", but it was when they turned to psychedelic rock with American Woman (the third album with the Bachman/Cummings lineup) that they broke through in the US with the anti-war title cut. The band's success after that was hit and miss, however.

After Share the Land, their second album of 1970, Bachman left to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive, leaving Cummings as the band's leader and main writer. The band experimented in various styles through the 70s, including blues, down-home bluegrass, more jazz, and Cummings's trademark piano ballads. The novelty single "Clap for the Wolfman" (1974) was their last chart appearance.

Various combinations of former members of the band have reunited at various times since their breakup in 1975.
