Merc Man Lyrics - Carnes Kim

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Duane Hitchings/Craig Krampf) 

Larry got a job as a soda jerk 

Worked five days bought a 55 merc 

He raised it in the front 

He lowered in the back 

Now all the girls just call him Mercury Jack 

He's the Merc man how do you do 

Merc man that's who 

Merc man he likes to cruise around 

Merc man he's got his coolness down 

Saturday night Larry's in the valley dancin' 

He looks across the room 

And spots some black stretch 

Pants and she got 

Legs tha go clear up to the rafters 

A pair of nocturnal fantasy hips 

He knew right away what 

He was after 

When she looked his way and moistened her lips 

He said I'm the Merc man how do you do 

Merc man that's who 

Merc man he likes to cruise around 

Merc man he's got his coolness down 

Larry's pulse quickened 

As she crossed the floor 

He backed up slowly 

And showed her to the door 

She yes with her xray eyes 

She walked up to him 

And he just sighed 

I'm the Merc man how do you do 

Merc man that's who 

Merc man he likes to cruise around 

Merc man he's got his coolness down
