An original song about the key characters in Arthur Miller's award winning 1963 play Death of a Salesman. My old English teacher would be loving this... my old Music teacher, perhaps not so much! If you know the play, I tried to give the lyrics some double meaning and irony.
Old Faithful Yamaha CJ-818SB recorded on my mobile phone.
Standard tuning, capo on 3rd fret.
Poor Willie was a salesman
And Willie just got told he's too old for working
But it doesn't really matter
'Cause Willie knows his boys are just like their father
For Biff it's not about the money
What's the point in chasing what you can't have?
Happy's gonna take the reigns
Happy's only got the brains for chasing ladies
The salesman is dead
The salesman is dead
Biff don't wanna dream no more
Not since that time he went and saw his father
Way back in summer school
Cheating just will not do
The salesman is dead
The salesman is dead
All it takes is one big deal
And they won't look back forever after
And it's right around the corner
All it takes is a little drive...
The salesman is dead
The salesman is dead
The salesman is dead
The salesman...
