Subject: Lyr Add: THERE'S A MAN WHO COMES TO OUR HOUSE
Here's a version from a recording by Jimmie Jenson (Yimmy Yenson)

THERE'S A MAN WHO COMES TO OUR HOUSE
(from the singing of Jimmie Jenson)

Chorus:
There's a man who comes to our house every single day,
Papa comes home and the man goes away.
Well papa does the work and mama gets the pay;
And there's a man that comes to our house every single day.

Now there's a man that comes to our house and he drives a Cadillac;
He drives around the corner, he parks it in the back.
He comes to the door, mama's always there to greet him;
"Open up my honey bunch, let me check your meter".

Chorus

Now there's a man that comes to our house and he gives my mama ice;
He puts it in the ice box, I think that's awful nice.
Before the man leaves the ice melts away,
And he has to come back later in the day.

Chorus
He likes to cut a carpet, he likes to cut a rug;
He beats if on the line, he beats it on the floor,
Papa comes home and he beats it out the door.

Chorus:

Now when I grow up I don't wanna be
A doctor or a lawyer, no siree!
I don't want an office way down town
I just wanna be a man that comes around.

Chorus.
