Mr. Handleman Lyrics

Come Mr. Handleman take my wife home
You can't leave a woman like a chippy alone
She's plenty pretty like a woman in prime
No you won't need a waterbed to have a good time

Mr. Handleman, Mr. Handleman
Take my wife home
Mr. Handleman, Mr. Handleman, Mr. Handleman
Take my wife home take my wife home

La señora is a sight for sore eyes
Half an hour in a paradise
You're not the first and you will never come last
But the natives are restless so you better grab fast

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
