So that you will understand You get just what you pay for from the odd job man
One day this dude drives in the station And I slide out to the pump And he says, " I need some odd jobs done Can you get off from this dump? " So I nod and take the job When he says " Clean up before you come Now you can see I'm not no fancy pants And especially since this lovely lady's Still something keeps my trap shut And I nod again " Alright " And he gooses his Mercedes And he squeals off in the night
Well I find his place next morning It's more a palace than a pad And it kind of makes my pick-up truck But the same lady swings the door back And before one word is said She leads me to his trophy room Where he sits with his stuffed heads He's got this list of jobs for me to do And he says "I'm too damn busy boy When you're dealing with a gentleman You get just what you earn"
I set to work that weekend And I'm fixin' up some stairs When I feel that someone's watching me And I see SHE'S standing there And she says "I like to watch you work You have such supple hands" She says "Can I help you?" and I say Well she looks me in the eyes boys I admit I looked a little lower That's when she starts breathing faster And I start working slower You see when you have a helper With her attitude and grace
Well a month had too soon come and gone With my odd jobs all done When who should pull up to the pump
