| | | Artist: | Harry Chapin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Odd Job Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 108 | | | | Lyrics: | Chorus:
I give part time help
I'm the odd job man
I can't do what I want
So I do
what I can
And I'll tell you now
So that you will understand
You get just what you pay
for from the odd job man
One day this dude drives in the station
And I slide out to the
pump
And he says, " I need some odd jobs done
Can you get off from this dump? "
Well I
can always use some extra bread
So I nod and take the job
When he says " Clean up before you
come
I do not hire slobs "
Now you can see I'm not no fancy pants
But everyone has
pride
And especially since this lovely lady's
Sittin' by his side
Still something keeps
my trap shut
And I nod again " Alright "
And he gooses his Mercedes
And he squeals off
in the night
Chorus
Well I find his place next morning
It's more a palace
than a pad
And it kind of makes my pick-up truck
Start looking pretty bad
But the same
lady swings the door back
And before one word is said
She leads me to his trophy
room
Where he sits with his stuffed heads
He's got this list of jobs for me to do
While
he's out of town
And he says "I'm too damn busy boy
The way I move around"
Well I start
to figure prices when he says
"It's time you learned,
When you're dealing with a
gentleman
You get just what you earn"
Chorus
I set to work that
weekend
And I'm fixin' up some stairs
When I feel that someone's watching me
And I see
SHE'S standing there
And she says "I like to watch you work
You have such supple
hands"
She says "Can I help you?" and I say
"Baby you CAN !! "
Well she looks me in the
eyes boys
I admit I looked a little lower-a | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
