The Lyrics
In praise of the do-it-yourselfer.
Who can take a faucet
Sprinkling on you?
Thread it, seal it, caulk it
Make it good as new
The handyman
The handyman can
The handyman can
Cause he fixes it with tape
And makes the tap work good
Who can take a door hinge?
Squeaking up the house
Use some 3 in 1
And make it quiet as a mouse
The handyman
The handyman can
The handyman can
Cause he fixes it with grease
And makes the door sound good
The handyman Can
Cause everything that breaks
Is so costly to maintain now
He's about to ream the drain now
And the furniture he'll stain now
Can't wait until tomorrow?
Floor nails in the mat?
He'll bring in his toolbelt
And he'll hammer till it's flat
The handyman
The handyman can
The handyman can
The handyman can
Cause he fixes it with glue
And makes it work so good
Likes to work on wood
Cause the handyman thinks he's good
Cause the handyman tinks
Cause the handyman thinks he's good
Sprinkling on you?
Thread it, seal it, caulk it
Make it good as new
The handyman
The handyman can
The handyman can
Cause he fixes it with tape
And makes the tap work good
Who can take a door hinge?
Squeaking up the house
Use some 3 in 1
And make it quiet as a mouse
The handyman
The handyman can
The handyman can
Cause he fixes it with grease
And makes the door sound good
The handyman Can
Cause everything that breaks
Is so costly to maintain now
He's about to ream the drain now
And the furniture he'll stain now
Can't wait until tomorrow?
Floor nails in the mat?
He'll bring in his toolbelt
And he'll hammer till it's flat
The handyman
The handyman can
The handyman can
The handyman can
Cause he fixes it with glue
And makes it work so good
Likes to work on wood
Cause the handyman thinks he's good
Cause the handyman tinks
Cause the handyman thinks he's good
Ow! My thumb!

I can't help but love this one... even if you did leave the "s" off all those "she"s. ;)
Handyperson didn't scan as well.
"Thinks he can" heheheheh 5's
5's Hey Rick now do one for James Taylor's "I'm Your Handyman".......
Johnnie, Mari made the same comment. I was going to try to switch the lyrics to "Hello Dolly" and "Lay Down Sally", but it proved a little tricky. I know if you or I do that Taylor song, it's gonna be "I'm Your Randyman"
perfect pacing and funny...don't fix it...it ain't broke
Butt no crack? ;-)
Great job! 5's!
"He’s about to ream the drain now" made me laugh out loud. Very good.
Dagnabit, beaten to the draw! I saw you nailed it. Well done Rick- 5s.
555 sprays with 3 in 1 oil.
You nailed it and didn't even hit your thumb with the hammer. Well done Rick.
Wherever he is, I'm sure Overton Wakefield Jones approves.
"He’s about to ream the drain now..." Almost busted a gut trying not to LOL (kids are asleep!).
I lost my phone book and you're not listed and I can't remember where you live. You called me about a month AGO and sorry I haven't been able to cal l you back. Laurey
