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
