Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Handyman
Subject: Lyr Req: The Handyman
Back in October 1997, Prairie Home Companion ran a parody of "Candyman," called "Handyman." My sister wrote down a few of the lyrics, but we would like to have them all if anyone knows them.
Here is what we have so far:
Who can fix the furnace When it's ten below? Who can fix the toilet when it starts to overflow? The Handyman can.
Who can put his hands in An overflowing sink, Pull out all the garbage so the kitchen doesn't stink? The Handyman can.
The Handyman is skilled, he can fix or build Anything my baby wishes. I was never that ambitious; I don't even do the dishes.
Who can get the lights on When the circuits blow? Who can charge me double and I'll never even know? The Handyman can.
Later in the song there's a place where he's rhymed superstitious with 57 stitches. (Wouldn't you like to know what that's about??) And one more partial verse appears on my page:
Who can build a skylight, Make the pieces fit? .......just 'cause I don't want to do that ..... (stuff) (this was on the radio, remember?)
If anyone can find the rest of this, I know this bunch can. Thanks in advance!
