Andy the Handy Man by George Formby
Now I'm a jack-of-all-trades, as busy as a bee, Should anything need fixing, just get in touch with me, If your water cisterns frozen, or the baby's face turns blue, Ring me on the telephone, cos I know what to do.
They call me Andy, George Andy, Andy the handy man, My job is dandy, dandy, I do the best I can, I'm always at your service, that you may depend, And don't forget it's never too late to mend.
(Repeat)
As an artist I draw faces, my profiles are divine, But when it comes to figures, that's where I'm not so fine, A girl told me last night, I didnt know where to "draw the line" Oh, it comes in handy being a handy man.
Now in the park one morning, a bulldog I did see, I fairly stood and shivered when it came and sniffed at me, I didnt even move when it mistook me for a tree, Oh, it comes in handy being a handy man.
They call me Andy, George Andy, Andy the handy man, My job is dandy, dandy, I do the best I can, I'm always at your service, that you may depend, And don't forget its never too late to mend.
A baby once was christened, the parson said "well, well", He isn't like his mother or his father you can tell, Who does the child remind you of? And the choir began to yell, "Oh, it comes in handy being a handy man".
A girl gave me a gold watch, I said "it's rather light", "It's got no works inside it, now surely that's not right", She said "now don't you worry, I'll give you the works tonight!", Oh, it comes in handy being a handy man.
Additional couplet I went to mend a bath once, imagine my surprise, When the outline of a female inside the bath I spied, I thought Id better make quite sure, but the soap got in my eyes, Oh, it comes in handy being a handy man.
