My wife used to say she couldn't understand |
|
Why I make my living working with my hands |
|
She met a junk bond daddy and he broke up my home |
|
He made his living on the telephone |
|
Daddy spied my darling and he dialed her number then |
|
They took off next morning and she won 't he back again |
|
Now I may not be good looking and |
|
I never been to school |
|
But I patched up my broken home using simple tools |
|
Simple tools simple tools |
|
I like simple tools |
|
I' m just a common ordinary workaday fooi |
|
I might not be the brightest bulb or the straightest m |
|
IeBut I can mend my broken heart using simple tools |
|
I can talk to girls in bars mayhe a few |
|
We'B drink a |
|
Iittle glass of wine or maybe two |
|
I might wake up in gay |
|
Paree or good old |
|
San Berdoo |
|
The gals appreciate a man that uses simple tools |
|
I won't be walking 'round all night wondel'in' what to do |
|
I won't be calling up the morgue askin' for you |
|
Or beating down these memories with one of your old shoes |
|
I can do the job in half the time' cause |
|
I use simple tools |
|
Simple tools simple tools |
|
I like simple tools |
|
I'm just a common ordinary workaday foo |
|
II might not be the brightest bulb or the straightest rule, |
|
But I can do the job in half the time and it stays done when |
|
I use slmple tools |
