Handy Man Songtext
von Shel Silverstein

Well on a Monday I′ll be slingin' hash Tuesday I′ll be collectin' trash
And on a Wednesday I might be tendin' bar
Thursday I′ll be the guy who parks your car
On a Friday I might be teachin′ school a Saturday finds me hustlin' pool
I got a whole lotta talents in demand that′s why they call me Handy Man

Pow-pow-pow-hum all the neighborhood girls and boys
Pow-pow-pow-pow they come to me to mend their toys
Ta-ra-ra-ra their daddys call me to mow their lawn
And their mama's all horny when their daddys are gone
I can drive a tractor or wheel a truck I can deal a hand at poker with exceptional luck
And I can chop down a redwood usin′ just one hand
That's why they call me Handy Man


Pow-pow-pow-pow-hum yeah you know if you need me for emergencies
I can come round you know work around the house
Or the backyards or somethin′ not too taxin' no
Yeah on six in the morning I'm out pickin′ fruits 8: 45 I′m back pressin' suits
Twelve o′clock you'll see me shinin′ shoes the coctail hour I'll be a servin′ booze
I can wash your windows or walk your pet
Get your color reception and on a black and white set
Yeah I can play concerto on your baby grand cause I'm a huh Handy Man

Pow-pow-pow-hum all the neighborhood girls and boys
Pow-pow-pow-pow they come to me to mend their toys
Ta-ra-ra-ra their daddys call me to mow their lawn
And their mama's all horny when their daddy′s not at home
I save my evenings for a brand new faces
Weekends are reserved for a emergency cases
I tell you babe you gotta understand that I′m a handy man
I mean a handy man you know what I am I mean a handy man
