lirik lagu the manicure – phyllis sinclair
standing in the check out line
she pulled her cart up next to mine
she asked if i would help her to unload
my hands they just don’t work the same
they’re stiff and crooked, but i won’t complain
these hands have toiled and laboured to get me by
it’s the least that i can do to show
the thanks i have and the debt i owe
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
back in days when i was young, when little arms around me clung
they dried a thousand tears from crying eyes
they cleaned the dirt from tumbled knees
spent countless hours sh*lling garden peas
and the built the house we lived in at the time
they scrubbed a few walls pots and pans
coined the phrase of dish pan hands
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
leathered, cracked and wrinkled from working hard
i must admit, i know
they’re not too much to look upon
never soaked them in a fine salon
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
lost the farm in ‘63, took a job in town at the factory
i assembled parts til my hands were thick and numb
the had their knocks, their bumps and blows
but they bought the farm that the bank foreclosed
and a horse who taught the kids all how to ride
they had their share of cuts and scars
but they taught the value of working hard
it’s taking a life of living to get my hands to look like this
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
leathered, cracked and wrinkled from working hard
i must admit, i know
they’re not too much to look upon
never soaked them in a fine salon
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
now you know about these hands
i hope you don’t misunderstand
i’ve given them the best care that i could
though they’ve never had a life of ease
never pampered, i can guarantee
they’re the reason that i stand here with my pride
my life has been their manicure
shaped by service through the years
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
leathered, cracked and wrinkled from working hard
i must admit, i know
they’re not too much to look upon
never soaked them in a fine salon
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
it’s taken a life of living to get my hands to look like this
