Twelve Volt Man Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Twelve Volt Man 

By: Jimmy Buffett 

1983 

For "Nez" and Baja Bill at Alphonsino's 

I never got a grip on penmanship 

Could never make the small "L's" flow 

Seldom found the trick to arith-a-metic 

Three plus two be faux, pas 

But ask for some palm trees 

Or tales from the South Seas 

And I just might turn your head 

I never had the clout to knock one out 

But hitting was the name of my game 

Standing on third as the coaches conferred 

Close to my first claim to fame

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Just give me the steal sign 

And I'll make home plate mine 

And I just might turn some heads 

Sometimes I may get a little drastic 

Sometimes I just let my feelin's show 

Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic 

Most times that's the way the story goes 

(instrumental) 

Now I now this Joe down in Mexico 

He went there to work on his tan 

For years he's been plugged into blenders and songs 

They call him the Twelve Volt Man 

He don't need no charge card 

Just give him a Die Hard 

And he'll makes sparks fly 'round your head 

Photos 

Oh just ask for some palm trees 

Or tales from the South Seas 

And I'll make sparks fly 'round your head 

'Round your head 

In your head 

In your head 

In your head 

In your head 

In your head 

In your head 

In your head...
