Andy the Handyman - George Formby

Now Im 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 babys 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

Im always at your service, you may depend

And dont forget its never too late to mend

As an artist I draw faces, my profiles are divine,

But when it comes to figures, thats where Im 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

Im always at your service, you may depend

And dont forget its never too late to mend

A baby once was christened, the parson said «well, well»

He isnt 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 «its rather light

Its got no works inside it, now surely thats not right»

She said «now dont you worry, Ill give you the works tonight»

Oh, it comes in handy being a handy man

Additional verse

I went to mend a bath once, imagine my surprise,

When the outline of a female inside the bath I spies

I thought Id better make quite sure, but the soap got in my eyes

Oh, it comes in handy being a handy man
