Right Hand Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lemme use your toothbrush. Have you got a clean shirt?
My panties in a wad at the bottom of my purse.
I walk into the street, the air's so cool.
I'm wired and I'm tired and I'm grinnin' like a fool.
I've been on a floor lookin' for a chair.
I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch.
I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed, lookin' for a bed,
lookin' for my, my, my right hand, my right hand man.
My right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
Said my right hand, my right hand man.
My right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
If he can't fix it, I don't know who can.
The sensamilla salesman, the cops on the block,
they know what I been doin'. They see the way I walk.
I wonder what they'd say now. I wonder what they'd do.
To feel somebody want them the way I'm wantin' you.
I've been on a floor lookin' for a chair.
I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch.
I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed, lookin' for a bed,
could you really be, my right hand, my right hand man.
My right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
Said my right hand, my right hand man.
My right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
Use me up if you think you can.
Oh, I've been on a floor lookin' for a chair.
I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch.
I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed, lookin' for a bed,
lookin' for my, my, my right hand, my right hand man.
My right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
Said my right hand, my right hand man.
My right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man;
If he can't fix it, I don't know who can.
Oh, said, my right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man.
Said, my right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man.
My right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man.
Said, my right hand, my right hand man;
my right hand, my right hand man.
If he can't fix it, gonna find a boy who can.
* In live performances, Joan sings:
If he can't fix it, gonna find the one who can
