(Handyman)
(Hey, handyman)
Alright everybody gather 'round
The handyman is here
What kind of handywork you want?
Fix locked bits?
Septic tanks to empty?
Scum mopped?
Anything you want
You've come to the right man
Look out! I'm your handyman
Who can make a fence high (who can make a fence high)
Fix a hinge with screws (fix a hinge with screws)
Cupboard, it is chockers, have him build some more anew
The handyman (the handyman)
Sure, the handyman can (the handyman can)
The handyman can
'Cause you pay him lots of mon-
ey or he don’t come round
(Mate, he won’t come round)
H-man makes his plane smooth (H-man makes his plane smooth)
Crappy bits of pine (warp-ed, out of line)
Show’s who’s number one and makes your shelves all re-aligned
The handyman (the handyman)
The handyman can (from handyman land)
The handyman can
'Cause he mixes up cement
And lays your sidewalks good
(Lays my sidewalks good)
The handyman makes statements that I take
As so very suppositious
Now he’s acting slightly injudicious
(Must admit, he’s quite delicious...)
Oh, who sees to my inflow (who can make my lamps glow)
Slips me self-esteem (dips into my seam)
Operates drill-borer so delectibly I scream
The handyman (the handyman)
Oh, the handyman can (withstand him, I can’t)
The handyman can
No quick-fixes with this bud
He’s got such skill with wood
(Sates a girl real good)
The handyman takes, leaves me feeling slaked
Satisfied and quite lubricious
Talk about your expeditious
Hammer drilling all my wishes
Nail, nail, nail
Who has got the right tools (could you see this coming)
For the job, it seems (pun so bad, I scream)
He’ll be back tomorrow with his screwdriver of dreams
That dandyman (that dandyman)
That handyman can (he’s tanned, is that man)
The handyman’s cans
Are like manna from above
Man, they’re as firm as wood
(Makes a girl feel good)
Yes, the handyman can
'Cause he’s there upon demand
And oh his wood’s real good
(You should see him nude)
A-handyman, a-handyman, a-handyman
(Makes a girl feel good)
A-handyman, a-handyman, a-handyman
(Drained my purse real good)
(Hey, handyman)
Alright everybody gather 'round

my fave of the day...you really nailed this one
I loved it! But uhm...I thought TOS was from the 70s? Still, it's a good read and a good OS.
he he
I like Candy, and I like handy, and I like this parody
Gotta hand it to you. 555
Sir, you might try a Cowboy! They're quite handy.
Thanks everyone.
Eac, the OS was from the 70s. Looks like Pip hit the wrong category.

Loved the progression here from chewy nougat to, well, *hard* candy, although, I'm pretty sure one-eyed diminutive black Jewish song & dance men everywhere are spinning in their, er, lathes...
this fixed my day up.. you guy coming to Tampa?
I'm a little far away, Malcolm :)
Every girl needs a handyman ;) Great to sing along with - excellnt job!
Of course - the Handyman can. An underacknowledged genius. Well done MP - you have finally properly recognised "the man".
