[Verse 1]
Well a fGunny thing happened at a gig the other day
When a mCan approached me with a resume’
And sGaid 'if you need any help, then I’m your Dman.'
He said, 'I’ll wCork the door, I’ll load your gear
if you bGoys Get thirsty, I’ll go for beer,
and if it Gever breaks down, I can DEven fix your vaGn'
[Verse 2]
When I aGsked the guy what he did for work
I saw a tCwinkle in his eye and he gave a little smirk
he said, 'I wGork right down the Road, I’ve got a melon Dstand.
I Cset up in a shady spot, I sell wGatermelon and a little good pot,
And lGast year I made dDamn near thirty Ggrand.'

      G                                       D! D!
and dedicate my self to a Rock and roll band.
I’ve been a racCe car mechanic and a body guard,
I’m a GCPA and I work real hard.
Come on and Ghire me on, I can Dsee you boys need a Ghand.'
[Verse 5]
'You know I’ve Gdone it all and been around
Had a lCot of good jobs, seen a lot of rough towns.
I’d like to oGffer you my services for hDire.
I was a Ccook in the army and I drove a jeep,
I had an EGighty acre ranch where I ran some sheep,
I sang Gbass in the Mormon DTabernacle GChoir.'
[Chorus]
He’s a resume’ mCan, he’s a resume’ Gman.
If Ghe can’t do it, I don’t know who Dcan

Well I kCnew the man was qualified, he’d worked a

he Gwasn’t exactly the HDelp we’d hope to Gfind.
[Chorus]
He’s a rCesume’ man, he’s a resume’ mGan.
If Ghe can’t do it, I don’t know who Dcan

Fifty yGears on the job but the Dman is only fortGy-five.
He’s a resume’ m-aaaaCaaaaaaaaaaaaan, (HOLD IT) 
he’s a resume’ Gman.
If Ghe can’t do it, I don’t know who Dcan

Fifty yGears on the job but the Dman is only fortGy-five.
Fifty yGears on the job but the Dman is only fortGy-five.
