"Sucking Up to You"  Copyright 2000 Jacqueline S. Levy

You look swell.
What a marvelous tie.
I can tell
You're a powerful guy.
That's why I
Am sucking up to you.

Your bright eyes
Have that get up and go.
No surprise
You're a man in the know.
Does it show?
I'm sucking up to you.

        Climbing to the top
        Has never caused me stress
        Since I saw the "suck"
        In success.

Now relax.
Let me buy you a drink.
Face the facts:
Babe, you tickle me pink.
You would think?
I'm sucking up to you.

(spoken)   It is so good to see you again.
                Ha, ha!  You are such a wit.
                Have you been working out?

        Climbing to the top
        Has never caused me stress
        Since I saw the "suck"
        In success.

It's been great.
That you're too dumb to see
I can't wait
'Til you're working for me
Then you'll be
Sucking up to me.
