went to bed last night
wasn’t nothin’ right
no bing in my life ain’t got no zing
so many things needin’ fixin’
but what’s a girl ta do
some things just take two
course, i do what i can
but i need me a handyman
wasn’t nothin’ right
no bing in my life ain’t got no zing
so many things needin’ fixin’
but what’s a girl ta do
some things just take two
course, i do what i can
but i need me a handyman
went to bed last night and just couldn’t sleep
wound up thinkin’ ‘bout countin’ some sheep
tossed and turned and tossed some more
had a little fever that couldn’t be ignored
curled up like a baby and sucked my thumb
but sleep wouldn’t come
course i do what i can
but i need me a handyman
went to bed last night and by mornin’s light
fever’s so high thought i’d ignite
feeling all tired and blue
sweet tastin’ elixir long overdue
but there i was home all alone
all dressed up in just my cologne
course i do what i can
but i need me a handyman
went to bed last night stayin’ in bed till noon
kept thinkin’ bout that big ‘ole moon
lay there in my bed with my head in my hand
gettin’ real tired of a life all bland
so i got up and found those yellow pages
ain’t gonna be livin’ them dark ages
course i do what i can
but i’m gonna git me a handyman

this piece was performed on stage last year in a night of live music and poetry reading by the renaissance renegades innovative theatre group in shreveport louisiana - it's been posted before and re-posted today as my muse seems to have taken the day off - enjoy!
Love it! I can just see this one performed. Wish I had been there.
Your muse is just taking a coffee break.
well, i'm just real tired of muse musing out and about lately! muse needs to come on home and keep the home fires burning!!! you don't muse, you lose, muse! cause there are more than one muse out there in the mystic!!! that's what i'm thinkin'!!!
don't be too hard on the muse, my dear, she'll not wander far... she's taking a break... and i was reading this thinking, this would make a great song!! ah well, sometimes i get it right ;)
