Well I'm waiting at the bus stop in downtown L.A.

But I'd much rather be on a boardwalk on Broadway

Well I'm sitting here thinkin' just how sharp I am

I'm an under assistant west coast promo man

Well I promo groups when they come into town

Well they laugh at my toupee, they're sure to put me down

Well I'm sitting here thinking just how sharp I am

Yeah I'm sitting here thinking just how sharp I am

I'm a necessary talent behind every rock and roll band

Yeah, I'm sharp

I'm really, really sharp

I sure do earn my pay

Sitting on the beach every day, yeah

I'm real real sharp, yes I am

I got a Corvette and a seersucker suit

Yes I have

Here comes the bus, uh oh

I though I had a dime

Where's my dime

I know I have a dime somewhere

I'm pretty sure........

From Out of Our Heads (1965, US). A sharp, early critique of the music industry from a band who were already deeply cynical about it. The title alone is a punchline.
