John C. Clark (The Gasman Song)
John C Clark is a really nice man He works in gas installation And he drives a gas installation van Fill it up at the local gas station And you know I never saw him with a woman before The women round here think they're worth a lot more He's the kind of man your mother would adore And that's no recommendation Well John C Clark ain't too good looking I guess he looks like a gas installer And for all that gas he still ain't cooking Yeah he could do with being six inches taller But then I ain't no pretty picture myself I've been sitting round here too long on the shelf And I could dream about being with somebody else But he could be a whole lot smaller John C Clark has a crush on me I know he told me so one Sunday And at the time since I didn't have any other offers I agreed to meet him on the Monday And the big surprise is that we really got on We talked about all kinds of wierd things til dawn I plucked up the courage and said ?Hey John, Would you meet me again on Friday?? Songtexte And so we met at the pizza parlour in town By then my belly was warming And while we were waiting on the tiramisu I kissed him without warning I said ?I'm not getting any younger you know And would you like to give it a go? He replied, ?I guess so? And I packed my things in the morning? Now me and John we live together We have a house that's full of laughter We've got gas central heating, our bellies are always warm And besides John has insulated the rafters And you know we really like each other a lot And for all the gas we will never be hot But we're making the best of what we've got We're living happily ever after Aus Songtexte Mania
