Handyman from Truth by Peter Dunne

handyman, handyman, my handyman, has been and gone
handyman, handyman, I'll do anything in this God almighty world
to bring my handyman home

flatpack arrived, big white van (x3)
don't need to look at the list of stuff
don't need to see the plan

spread out the bits, great big toy (x3)
stand well back, give me the tools,
I am a clever big boy

long side A, short side B ( x3) .... (twiddly bit C)
inside out, upside down,
doesn’t look right to me

smack it with a mallet, smack it with a brick ( x3)
won’t go in, doesn’t fit
must've got the wrong bit

run fetch a picture of the bit down here (x6)
doesn’t look a bit like the thing I’ve got
making a real pigs-ear

ring up the shop, loud complain (x3)
vent my rage at the poor wage slave
never go there again

big bad sulk, need a beer ( x3)
big bad mood, stomp around
why ain’t my handyman here

handyman, handyman, my handyman, has been and gone
handyman, handyman, I'll do anything in this God almighty world
to bring my handyman home
