Right Hand Man

Words and Music by Joan Osborne,Rick Chertoff, Eric Bazilian, Rob
Hyman, and Don Van Vliet 

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.
