Simple Tools |
| 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 be 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 fool |
| I might not be the brightest bulb or the straightest rule |
| But I can mend my broken heart using simple tools |
| I can talk to girls in bars maybe a few |
| We’d drink a little 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 wonderin' 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 fool |
| I 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 simple tools |
