Chorus: 
I give part time help 
I'm the odd job man 
I can't do what I want 
So I do what I can 
And I'll tell you now 
So that you will understand 
You get just what you pay for from the odd job man 
One day this dude drives in the station 
And I slide out to the pump 
And he says, " I need some odd jobs done 
Can you get off from this dump? " 
Well I can always use some extra bread 
So I nod and take the job 
When he says " Clean up before you come 
I do not hire slobs " 
Now you can see I'm not no fancy pants 
But everyone has pride 
And especially since this lovely lady's 
Sittin' by his side 
Still something keeps my trap shut 
And I nod again " Alright " 
And he gooses his Mercedes 
And he squeals off in the night 
Chorus  
Well I find his place next morning 
It's more a palace than a pad 
And it kind of makes my pick-up truck 
Start looking pretty bad 
But the same lady swings the door back 
And before one word is said 
She leads me to his trophy room 
Where he sits with his stuffed heads 
He's got this list of jobs for me to do 
While he's out of town 
And he says "I'm too damn busy boy 
The way I move around" 
Well I start to figure prices when he says 
"It's time you learned, 
When you're dealing with a gentleman 
You get just what you earn" 
Chorus 
I set to work that weekend 
And I'm fixin' up some stairs 
When I feel that someone's watching me 
And I see SHE'S standing there 
And she says "I like to watch you work 
You have such supple hands" 
She says "Can I help you?" and I say 
"Baby you CAN !! " 
Well she looks me in the eyes boys 
I admit I looked a little lower-a
