Tools of the Trade

A Song Lyric by Harris Tobias

She said come on baby dont be afraid And slipped her hand into mine Then she explained how she had to get paid But you know we'll have a good time I stammered and blushed, I guess I was shy I was looking for someplace to run She patted my cheek and tickled my thigh And whispered, Come on lets have fun So we went to her room and took off our clothes Then she crawled onto her side of the bed She spread out her arms and gave me a wink And I'll never forget what she said

(chorus) She said tools of the trade Tools of the trade You gotta use what the good lord has made Thats why he made em so dont be afraid So we applied the tools of the trade Many years later when I was all grown I took the sweetest young thing for my bride She was so nervous about the unknown I said we had nothing to hide After a while she understood That love was a physical thing And all of our parts fit together so well And together we often would sing Wed sing tools of the trade Tools of the trade You gotta use what the good lord has made Thats why he made em so dont be afraid So we applied the tools of the trade (Bridge) We had seven children and now theyre all grown Many of them have kids of their own Im thoroughly amazed at the seeds that Ive sown And what a beautiful family I made Now Im an old man all withered and gray I spend half my time asleep in the shade Heres a piece of advice I want to relay You gotta use the tools of the trade (chorus) I told you, Tools of the trade Tools of the trade You gotta use what the good lord made Thats why he made em so dont be afraid Apply the tools of the trade
