Merc Man Lyrics - Kim Carnes

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 

That 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 X-ray 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
