Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation

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
