[VERSE]
He[E]'s been roundin' off bolts since the age of fourteen
Was th[B7]at a five eighths or a n[E]ine sixteenths?
[E]He's got a metric socket that don't quite fit
Well it'll w[B7]iggle just a little but it ain't quite s[E]tripped
The safety[A] guard's gone from his grinding machine
He got a st[E]iff paint brush he only kinda got clean
He's the h[A]ired man, my neighbor and a cousin in law
He's a jerry [E]riggin' fool, he got the t[B7]ool for the [E]job
[CHORUS]
Well it's vise[A] grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench
A wre[E]nch for a hammer, hammers everything else
It j[A]ust don't seem to make much difference
I s[E]ure do like him but he's h[B7]ard on equi[E]pment
[VERSE]
Hi[E]s corners ain't square and his floor ain't level
And he[B7]'s always had trouble wi[E]th the old tape measure
[E]His doors don't close ‘cause the jamb ain't plumb
And he's a G[B7]oddamn menace with an air nail [E]gun
They love[A] to see him comin' at the lumberyard store
Fixed the[E] leak in his roof with a two by four
Drilled h[A]oles in his boards with the wrong kinda bit
And when they[E] don't line up he blames t[B7]he governmen[E]t
[CHORUS]
Well it's vise[A] grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench
A wre[E]nch for a hammer, hammers everything else
It j[A]ust don't seem to make much difference
I s[E]ure do like him but he's h[B7]ard on equi[E]pment
[VERSE]
He[E] got the whole front yard full of fix ‘em up cars
Three [B7]don't run and the rest w[E]on't start
E[E]verything's fine with his rebuilt motor
Except of co[B7]urse for the couple spare parts left ove[E]r
Baler wir[A]e tie downs goin' down the road
On two ba[E]ld tires and an oversize load
He ain't [A]never read a manual ‘cause that's like cheatin'
He don't mind[E] a little grease on his ha[B7]nds while he[E]'s eatin'
[CHORUS]
Well it's vise[A] grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench
A wre[E]nch for a hammer, hammers everything else
