I give part time help
 I'm the odd job man
 I can't do what I want
 So I do what I can
 And I'll tell you now
 So that you will understand
 You get just what you pay for from the odd job man

 One day this dude drives in the station
 And I slide out to the pump
 And he says, " I need some odd jobs done
 Can you get off from this dump? "
 Well I can always use some extra bread
 So I nod and take the job
 When he says " Clean up before you come
 I do not hire slobs "
 Now you can see I'm not no fancy pants
 But everyone has pride
 And especially since this lovely lady's
 Sittin' by his side
 Still something keeps my trap shut
 And I nod again " Alright "
 And he gooses his Mercedes
 And he squeals off in the night

 Chorus

 Well I find his place next morning
 It's more a palace than a pad
 And it kind of makes my pick-up truck
 Start looking pretty bad
 But the same lady swings the door back
 And before one word is said
 She leads me to his trophy room
 Where he sits with his stuffed heads
 He's got this list of jobs for me to do
 While he's out of town
 And he says "I'm too damn busy boy
 The way I move around"
 Well I start to figure prices when he says
 "It's time you learned,
 When you're dealing with a gentleman
 You get just what you earn"

 Chorus

 I set to work that weekend
 And I'm fixin' up some stairs
 When I feel that someone's watching me
 And I see SHE'S standing there
 And she says "I like to watch you work
 You have such supple hands"
 She says "Can I help you?" and I say
 "Baby you CAN !! "
 Well she looks me in the eyes boys
 I admit I looked a little lower
 That's when she starts breathing faster
 And I start working slower
 You see when you have a helper
 With her attitude and grace
 You start puttin' lots of extra hours
 Workin' 'round the place

 Chorus

 Well a month had too soon come and gone
 With my odd jobs all done
 When who should pull up to the pump
 But the long-lost prodigal son
 And he says "Here's a hundred dollars boy"
 Pulls the bill off from his wad
 And he starts to hand it over
 Like a gift come straight from God!
 I say "That's just a buck an hour sir !"
 He says "That's what I pay for jerks"
 Now I admit that almost blew my cool
 But I staggered back to work
 You see most times when it's said and done
 There's justice to this life
 'Cause what that man had done to me
 I'd done to his wife!

 Chorus
