Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation Lyrics
Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation - Dick Feller
Now I know a man he's a hard workin' man
He gets up real early and he goes down town
And about fifteen minutes after he's been gone
There's a big milk truck pulls up on the lawn
And that milkman rushes up to the door
Where that man's wife so waitin' in a kimono
And she plants a big ol' kiss
On his cheek and they go inside
And that truck never moves for an hour or two
Well it's none of my business
One day I called him aside
And told him what was goin' on
While he was gone
And he said
Well I guess that's so but do you know
We're never outta milk
Or cottage cheese or yogurt
Ice cream or none of
Them other cowy things
I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanna make waves can't you see
He's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
Now I know a man he's an educated man
He's an alligator wrestler
He jumps right in there and
Grabs them long green boogers
By whatever you grab them
Long green boogers by
Well one day he's got a full
Nelson on this big alligator
When this other alligator sneaks up
And bites his right ear plumb off
Didn't bat an eye just crawled off in the shade
And went to sleep the alligator not the man
Well it's none of my business
One day I said well it's sure too bad
About that little accident that you had
'Cause now your hat's gonna
Fall down over your eyes
And you can't ever be gypsy
'Cause you don't have no
Place to wear a gold earring
He just looked me right
Straight in the eye and said huh
I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanna make waves can't you see
He's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
Now I know a lady she's a mighty fine lady
Got a heart of gold she wouldn't harm a fly
She's just tryin' to get
By and keep her house in order
But you know that her husband
He worked so hard that he come unglued
He come unwrapped he just snapped
Thinks he's a chicken
That's right one of them cackling
Colonel sanders' types
He roosts in the bush by the side of the house
Well it's none of my business but one day I said
Have you ever thought about findin'
Him a doctor that could make him well
And she said well
I have now and then but then again
He don't eat much
Just chickenfeed and all that peckin'
In the ground don't hurt nothin'
Heaven knows we can use the eggs
I guess she's makin' the best of a bad situation
Don't wanna make waves can't you see
She's just makin' the best of a bad situation
Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
We're all just makin' the best of a bad situation
We're all in this together you and me
