Mr. Smooth Lyrics - Barefoot On The Beach - Michael Franks

In every city whether it be large or small 

His tired playlist drones 

But some of us remember how much choice there was 

Before he took the throne 

He's Mr. Smooth - His Hipness, the Great 

For Mr. Smooth's verdict we must wait 

So Mr. Smooth, when out turn comes round 

Dear Mr. Smooth, we only hope it won't be "thumbs down" 

His power and reputation he earned cleverly: 

Play fifteen-second tracks 

Then just tape the electrodes to the average Joe 

To see how he reacts 

The rest of us mere mortals on the treadmill trace 

Out work-a-day gulag 

And strive for the tome until the day he falls from grace 

And rivals fold the flag of Mr. Smooth
