Endicott (edit.) Songtext
von Kid Creole and the Coconuts

Endicott′s up by five o'clock
Endicott′s givin' all he got
Endicott's job is six to nine but
Endicott′s home by nine o′five
Endicott helps cook the steak
Endicott helps put the plates
Endicott puts the kids to bed
Endicott reads a book to them
Why can't you be like Endicott?
Endicott loves Tribena so
Endicott puts her on a pedestal
Endicott′s wish is her command but
Endicott don't make no demands
Endicott′s always back in time
Endicott's not the cheating kind
Endicott′s full of compliment Endicott's such a gentleman
Why can't you be like Endicott?
Cause I′m free
Free of made-to-order liabilities
Thank God I′m free
Cos it's hard enough for me
To take care of me oh-oh
Endicott′s carrying a heavy load
Endicott never really ever moans
Endicott's not a wealthy guy but
Endicott pays the bill on time
Endicott′s got ideas and plans
Endicott's what you call a real man
Endicott always will provide ′cause
Endicott is the family type


Why can't you be like Endicott?
Cause I'm free
Freer than a pirate on a frigate out at sea
Thank God I′m free
Driftin′ all around just like a tumbleweed, oh-oh
Maybe I need someone
Someone who isn't undone
Maybe an older woman
Will tolerate me
Maybe that certain womeone
Older and wiser woman
Maybe the perfect someone
To satisfy me
Endicott keeps his body clean
Endicott don′t use nicotine
Endicott don't drink alcohol
Endicott uses no drugs at all
Endicott don′t eat any sweet
Endicott don't eat pig feet
Endicott′s frame is mighty strong
Endicott makes love hard and strong
Why can't you be like Endicott?
Endicott loves Tribena so
Endicott walks her to the sto'
Endicott likes to hold her hand
Endicott′s proud to be her man
Endicott stands for decency
Endicott means formality
Endicott′s the epitome
Endicott stands for quality
Endicott
Endicott
Endicott
Endicott
Our love will be...
