Schmoozing

Hey, isn’t that so-and-so?
Over there at the table
Isn’t she the head of Such-and-Such Productions?
Sitting there with what’s his name
From what’s that record label?
Excuse me while I make my introductions

Schmoozing, schmoozing
Check out the smooth technique I’m using
Schmoozing, schmoozing
Smiling, shaking hands, and boozing

Everyone who’s anyone
& others not invited
Were gathered for the party by the pool
I’m a friend of so and so’s
That’s all I had to say
They said any friend of so and so’s was cool

So I’m schmoozing - schmoozing
Watch me work the room, I’m cruising
Schmoozing, schmoozing
Smiling, shaking hands, and boozing

Your name tag’s flipped around
How can I tell if you’re important?
General pleasantries I will exchange with you
My cheek muscles are tired
How ‘bout that rain we had last night?
I heard there was a chance of rain this evening too

Schmoozing, schmoozing
Remembering all these names is so confusing
Schmoozing, schmoozing
Smiling, shaking hands, and boozing

Have you tried the bean dip?
And who’s party is this?
And is everyone a songwriter here?
Who’s the big cheese over there
Everybody’s sucking up to?
And hey, man, where’d you get the beer?

Schmoozing, schmoozing
I wonder whose expense account they’re using
Schmoozing, schmoozing
Smiling, shaking hands, and boozing
