Clever Trevor Lyrics - Kid Songs

 My very first job,

I remember it well,

I was sent to the post office,

To get the mail.

"What name?" asked the clerk;

I looked him in the eye:

"That's none of your bus'ness,

You nosy!" said I.

Clever Trevor they called me,

I never knew why;

I went out to deliver

For a dairy nearby.

"Put the milk in the truck, Trev;

Why are you so slow?"

"It takes time to pour it

From the cartons, you know!"

One morning there lay about

Two feet of snow;

Says my foreman, "Just clear off

The pavement for now."

I rigged up the snow plow

And cleared it complete,

Put the snow and the pavement

All out in the street.

Said the checker, when I worked for

An express shipping line,

"Hitch your cab to the trailer

That's sitting out behind."

When I saw him the next day,

He seemed down in the mouth:

"You've got the trailer goin' north,

And the cab headin' south!"

A man parked his Cadillac

Near me one day;

"Keep an eye on it,

You'll get ten dollars for pay."

But he never paid me,

For a stranger came by,

"But I kept my eye on it

While he drove away!" said I.

I was reading the paper

In the subway last night,

It didn't make sense

When I held it upright,

So I flipped it topsy-turvy;

A fellow asked, "Why?"

"Cause it's easier to read it

This way," I replied.
