Letra
There's a man who comes to our house
Every single day
Papa comes home and the man goes away
Papa does the work and mama gets the pay
And the man comes around when papa goes away
The man who comes around
Yes, the man who comes around
He told me he was just the man who comes around
The man who comes to my house
Comes to bring the milk
He walks right in the kitchen and talks us through the silk
I always have to hold his horse out by the gate
He always stops along the horse he takes to wait
The man who comes to my house isn't such a dope
He rings the bell and says I hope, I hope, I hope
I know he is a salesman by the way he steps inside
He never sells a thing but walks outside his tie
The man who comes to my house
Comes to fix the phone
He brings his tools with him but he always comes alone
Just before he leaves I guess I ought to mention
He goes upstairs to mama's room and fixes her extension
The man who comes to my house is very nice
He comes in the summertime to bring mama rice
But the little teeny weeny piece soon melts away
And he has to come back again later in the day
The man who comes to my house comes to take the ash
In a little white jacket and a little black moustache
It's all very strange but it always seems to me
He's a little more familiar than a dustman ought to be
The man who comes around
The man who comes around
He told me he was just the man who comes around
When I grow up I'm never gonna be
A plumber or a carpenter no siree
I'll never be a doctor with an office up in town
I'm gonna be just the man who comes around
There's a man who comes to our house
Every single day
Papa comes home and the man goes away
Papa does the work and mama gets the pay
And the man comes around when papa goes away
The man who comes around
Yes, the man who comes around
He told me he was just the man who comes around
