Opportunity Knocks

​

You see my friend, Red McKay?

(His real name's Benjamin!)

He stands on the corner of 50th and 5th

Waitin' for church to end.

With a cup and a cane, and a laugh that's insane

He knows just what to do

"Give to me and I'll pray for you"

​

Opportunity Knocks

And before you know it you're in business

Opportunity Knocks 

And before you know it you get paid

It's all in the gimmick, the method, the style

So when Opportunity Knocks you answer with a smile!

​

Now over there is Bruce you see,

He knows how to make them sales.

With a can o' polish, a bench and brush

His method never fails.

He waits for a suit to come and says

"Hey you dropped something pal, you dropped your shine!

But for a dollar I can fix it up real fine!"

​

Opportunity Knocks

And before you know it you're in business

Opportunity Knocks 

And before you know it you get paid

It's all in the gimmick, the method, the style

So when Opportunity Knocks you answer with a smile!

​

Nows there's me, Sammy B

I'm different from the rest

I use my charming smile and personality

That's what works the best!

I'll say "Ma'm you're lookin' fine" 

Or "Sir, would you like the time?"

Or "My, what a beautiful day!"

Sam's your best friend, just as long as you pay!

And before you know it you're in business

Opportunity Knocks 

And before you know it you get paid

It's all in the gimmick, the method, the style

So when Opportunity Knocks you answer with a smile!

You gotta strike while the iron's hot

Locate your business in the perfect spot!

Then lie till they buy,

Look em' in the eye

Work the crowd, dress the part

You've got one chance to touch the heart!

It's all in the gimmick, the method, the style

So when Opportunity Knocks you answer with a-

Opportunity Knocks, you answer with a-

Opportunity Knocks you answer with a smile!

A smile!
