Lyrics

You may be an ambassador
 To England or France
 You might like to gamble
 You might like to dance
 You may be the heavyweight
 Champion of the world.
 You might be a socialite
 With a long string of pearls
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Yes indeed, you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Well it may be the Devil
 Or it may be the Lord
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Might be a Rock-n-roll addict
 Prancing on the stage
 Money, Drugs at your command
 Women in a cage
 You may be a businessman
 Or some high degree thief
 They may call you doctor
 Or they may call you chief
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Yes you are, you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Well it may be the Devil
 Or it may be the Lord
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 You may be a state trooper
 You might be a young Turk
 You may be the head
 Of some big TV network
 You may be rich or poor
 You may be blind or lame
 Maybe livin' in another Country
 Under another name
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Yes you are, you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Well it may be the Devil
 Or it may be the Lord
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Maybe a construction worker
 Workin' on a home
 Might be livin' in a Mansion
 You might live in a dome
 You may own guns
 And you may even own tanks
 You may be someone's landlord
 You may even own banks
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Yes, you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Well it may be the Devil
 Or it may be the Lord
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 You may be a Preacher
 Preaching Spiritual Pride
 Maybe a City Councilman
 Takin' bribes on the side
 Maybe working in a Barbershop
 You may know how to cut hair
 You may be somebody's mistress
 Maybe somebody's heir
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Yes, you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Well it may be the Devil
 Or it may be the Lord
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Might like to wear cotton
 Might like to wear silk
 Might like to drink whiskey
 Might like to drink milk
 Might like to eat caviar
 You might like to eat bread
 Maybe sleeping on the floor
 Sleepin' in a king-size bed
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Yes indeed, you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Well it may be the Devil
 Or it may be the Lord
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 You may call me Terry
 You may call me Timmy
 You may call me Bobby
 Or you may call me Zimmy
 You may call me RJ
 You may call me Ray
 You may call me anything
 No matter what you say
 You're still gonna have to serve somebody
 Yes, you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Well it may be the Devil
 And it may be the Lord
 But you're gonna have to serve somebody
 Ohh Yeah
 Serve Somebody
