Dick Feller - Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation lyrics

rate me

Now, I know a man<br />

He's a hard workin' man<br />

He gets up real early, and he goes down town<br />

And about fifteen minutes after he's been gone<br />

There's a big milk truck pulls up on the lawn<br />

And that milkman rushes up to the door<br />

Where that man's wife is waitin' in a kimona<br />

And she plants a big ol' kiss on his cheek and they go inside<br />

And that truck never moves for an hour or two<br />

Well it's none of my business<br />

One day I called him aside and told him what was goin' on<br />

While he was gone<br />

And he said, "Well I guess that's so, but do you know<br />

We're never outta' milk or cottage cheese or yogurt, ice cream, or none of them other cowy things"<br />

<br />

I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation<br />

Don't wanta make waves, can't you see<br />

He's just makin' the best of a bad situation<br />

Reckon I'd do the same if it was me<br />

<br />

Now I know a man, he's an educated man, he's an alligator wrestler<br />

He jumps right in there and grabs them long green boogers by whatever you<br />

Grab them long green boogers by... <br />

Well, one day he's got a full Nelson on this big alligator<br />

When this other alligator sneaks up and bites his right ear plumb off... <br />

Didn't bat an eye just crawled off in the shade and went to sleep<br />

The alligator not the man<br />

Well, it's none of my business<br />

One day I said, "Well, it's sure too bad about that little accident that you had<br />

'Cause now your hat's gonna fall down over your eyes<br />

And you can't ever be gypsy 'cause you don't have no place to wear a gold earring"<br />

He just looked me right straight in the eye and said, "Huh?"<br />

<br />

I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation<br />

Don't wanna make waves, can't you see<br />

He's just makin' the best of a bad situation<br />

Reckon I'd do the same if it was me<br />

<br />

Now I know a lady, she's a mighty fine lady<br />

Got a heart of gold, she wouldn't harm a fly<br />

She's just tryin' to get by and keep her house in order<br />

But you know that her husband, he worked so hard that he come unglued<br />

He come unwrapped, he just snapped, thinks he's a chicken... <br />

That's right, one of them cackling Colonel Sanders' types<br />

He roosts in the bush by the side of the house<br />

Well it's none of my business but one day I said<br />

"Have you ever thought about findin' him a doctor who could make him well"<br />

And she said "Well, I have now and then, but then again<br />

He don't eat much just chickenfeed and all that peckin' in the ground don't hurt nothin'... <br />

Heaven knows, we can use the eggs"<br />

<br />

I guess she's makin' the best of a bad situation<br />

Don't wanna make waves, can't you see<br />

She's just makin' the best of a bad situation<br />

Reckon I'd do the same if it was me<br />

<br />

We're all just makin' the best of a bad situation<br />

We're all in this together you and me
