Open a door On the seventeenth floor Secretary sends me through Walkin’ right in With a big time grin But I’m shakin’ in my shoes Suit One shakes my hand But it takes him a beat to recall my name Gotta move it along Gotta play somethin’ strong Gotta show ‘em why I came Work the room Work the room, baby Nobody here wants to know you But tomorrow they’ll be talkin’ about you Work the room Startin’ in sweet With a rockin’ beat Show ‘em I can really ride Not about fluff Get to serious stuff Here’s my softer side Suit Two frowns Is it bringin’ him down? Or does it mean he’s in the groove? Back to the beat Activatin’ their feet See the Pradas start to move Work the room They’re movin’ Oh baby Watch them beginnin’ to wonder You can bet tomorrow They’ll have serious hunger Work the room Go one step up Or all the way back Take the turns Or jump the track Rise an inch – or fall for a mile All the time remember to smile Stoppin’ the show But they don’t say go Suddenly smiles all ‘round Man oh man We’re shakin’ hands Telling me they like my sound Big Suit smilin’ at me Talkin’ about sales and fame Everybody’s talkin’ to me Makin’ it like I got it Dammit now they know my name! Work the room They want me I got it! You went in an unsung zero You’re comin’ out a musical hero Never gonna have to work the room again!
