Odd Job Man - Harry Chapin[00:00:01]

I give part time help[00:00:08]

I'm the odd job man[00:00:10]

I can't do what I want[00:00:12]

So I do what I can[00:00:14]

And I'll tell you now[00:00:16]

So that you will understand[00:00:18]

You get just what you pay for from the odd job man[00:00:21]

One day this dude drives in the station[00:00:35]

And I slide out to the pump[00:00:37]

And he says " I need some odd jobs done[00:00:40]

Can you get off from this dump "[00:00:42]

Well I can always use some extra bread[00:00:44]

So I nod and take the job[00:00:46]

When he says " Clean up before you come[00:00:49]

I do not hire slobs "[00:00:51]

Now you can see I'm not no fancy pants[00:00:54]

But everyone has pride[00:00:56]

And especially since this lovely lady's[00:00:58]

Sittin' by his side[00:01:00]

Still something keeps my trap shut[00:01:03]

And I nod again " Alright "[00:01:05]

And he gooses his Mercedes[00:01:08]

And he squeals off in the night[00:01:10]

I give part time help[00:01:14]

I'm the odd job man[00:01:16]

I can't do what I want[00:01:19]

So I do what I can[00:01:21]

And I'll tell you now[00:01:24]

So that you will understand[00:01:26]

You get just what you pay for from the odd job man[00:01:28]

Well I find his place next morning[00:01:36]

It's more a palace than a pad[00:01:38]

And it kind of makes my pick-up truck[00:01:41]

Start looking pretty bad[00:01:43]

But the same lady swings the door back[00:01:45]

And before one word is said[00:01:48]

She leads me to his trophy room[00:01:50]

Where he sits with his stuffed heads[00:01:52]

He's got this list of jobs for me to do[00:01:55]

While he's out of town[00:01:58]

And he says "I'm too damn busy boy[00:01:59]

The way I move around"[00:02:03]

Well I start to figure prices when he says[00:02:03]

"It's time you learned [00:02:07]

When you're dealing with a gentleman[00:02:09]

You get just what you earn"[00:02:11]

I give part time help[00:02:16]

I'm the odd job man[00:02:18]

I can't do what I want[00:02:21]

So I do what I can[00:02:23]

And I'll tell you now[00:02:25]

So that you will understand[00:02:27]

You get just what you pay for from the odd job man[00:02:30]

I set to work that weekend[00:02:55]

And I'm fixin' up some stairs[00:02:57]

When I feel that someone's watching me[00:03:00]

And I see SHE'S standing there[00:03:01]

And she says "I like to watch you work[00:03:04]

You have such supple hands"[00:03:07]

She says "Can I help you " and I say[00:03:09]

"Baby you CAN "[00:03:13]

Well she looks me in the eyes boys[00:03:15]

I admit I looked a little lower[00:03:17]

That's when she starts breathing faster[00:03:19]

And I start working slower[00:03:21]

You see when you have a helper[00:03:23]

With her attitude and grace[00:03:25]

You start puttin' lots of extra hours[00:03:29]

Workin' 'round the place[00:03:32]

I give part time help[00:03:35]

I'm the odd job man[00:03:37]

I can't do what I want[00:03:39]

So I do what I can[00:03:42]

Well a month had too soon come and gone[00:03:52]

With my odd jobs all done[00:03:54]

When who should pull up to the pump[00:03:57]

But the long-lost prodigal son[00:03:58]

And he says "Here's a hundred dollars boy"[00:04:03]

Pulls the bill off from his wad[00:04:06]

And he starts to hand it over[00:04:08]

Like a gift come straight from God [00:04:10]

I say "That's just a buck an hour sir "[00:04:13]

He says "That's what I pay for jerks"[00:04:16]

Now I admit that almost blew my cool[00:04:20]

But I staggered back to work[00:04:21]

You see most times when it's said and done[00:04:25]

There's justice to this life[00:04:27]

'Cause what that man had done to me[00:04:30]

I'd done to his wife [00:04:32]

I give part time help[00:04:36]

I'm the odd job man[00:04:39]

I can't do what I want[00:04:43]

So I do what I can[00:04:45]

And I'll tell you now[00:04:48]

So that you will understand[00:04:51]

You get just what you pay for from the odd job man[00:04:54]
