1. Now some men will fix broken cars
And some will mend your shoes
They'll repair your broken strings'
And chase away your blues
CHORUS
Then there's a tunesmith
He can mend a broken heart
He'll help you see the bright side
If your world's been blown torn part
There's the tunesmith
He can make you sing and dance
He'll keep your toes a'tappin'
If you give him half a chance'
2. Now some people work on the railroad
And some like to work the jet planes
Some like to work on the radio
And some watch the movement of rain
REPEAT CHORUS
Then there's a tunesmith
He can mend a broken heart
He'll help you see the bright side
If your world's been blown torn part
There's the tunesmith
He can make you sing and dance
He'll keep your toes a'tappin'
If you give him half a chance'
3. Now some people push papers around
And some drive a taxi thru town
Some work on the oil rigs
And some drive the semis through the mountains
REPEAT CHORUS
Then there's a tunesmith
He can mend a broken heart
He'll help you see the bright side
If your world's been blown torn part
There's the tunesmith
He can make you sing and dance
He'll keep your toes a'tappin'
If you give him half a chance'
