Mr Man
These days there’s a Mr man for every single possible task.
All
you got to do is to pick up the phone and ask,
Cause there’s a Mr fix it for all those odd jobs round the yard.
A Mr mobile mechanic / to repair and service your car.
A Mr window to fix your broken glass.
A Mr clip to mow your grass.
A Mr Wippy for your ice cream delights.
A Mr exterminator to get rid of the mice.
A Mr minute to mend your shoes and cut you’re keys.
A Mr house maid who’ll clean wax and polish with Mr Sheen.
A Mr handyman who’ll do anything, even chop the wood.
A Mr muscle, now he’s looking good.
A Mr antenna, to get that T. V. looking just right.
A Mr man for every single possible plight.
Yep! these days there’s a man for every reason.
and a man for every season,
So whenever you need that extra hand,
don’t despair and call;
‘Mr man.’
