steve gibbons band - mr. jones (2021 remaster) lyrics

[verse 1]
i was standing on the corner and this guy came up to me
and said “hey man you wanna job with real good pay?”
i said “sure i do, but before i move a muscle
i wanna know exactly what you’ve got to say”
he said, “i got a little problem, i’m in a little spot
i got this little package, you see, and uh, it’s kinda hot”
then he pulled out his book, wrote a healthy looking check
said, “this is the kinda dough you can get
just take the package and bring it back next week
on the dot”
i said, “is that all i gotta do?”
he said, “that’s all you gotta do”
i said, “well, this must be my lucky day”
uh, what’s in this package?
he said, “that really don’t concern you
take it and bring it back and you’ll get paid like i said
i’vе got a little problem, i’m in a little spot
but you hеlp me a little and i’ll help you a lot”
then he put his hand inside his jacket
and pulled out a well sealed packet
said, “there you go, see you friday, thanks a lot”
[chorus]
oh, mr. jones, just what’s going on?
what’s this thing you’re giving me, mr. jones?

[verse 2]
well, i took the package home and stashed it in a cupboard
then a friend of mine paid me a social call
i told my friend
“my friend, i said, i’ve had some weird jobs in my life
but this little breeze beats ’em all”
he said, “you must be crazy, the whole thing sounds insane
check that package out to see what it contains”
so we opened it up and he took a sniff and then i took a sniff
then the dog jumped up and he took a sniff
and we just ain’t been the same

[chorus]
oh, mr. jones, just what’s going on?
what’s this thing you’re giving me, mr. jones?
(tell me about it)

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
i looked at my watch, it was twelve hours into friday
so i thought i’d better go and see the man
i said, “hi,” he said, “yeah, you got the package,” i said, “no”
he smiled at me and said, “i understand” (ha ha ha)
but now we both got problems and you’re gonna need some bread”
i said, “how much do i owe?”
he said, “you’re fifty in the red
but look, i’m an understanding guy
i’ll take forty+five, give you one more try
you got a real good pair of shoulders on your head, yeah”
[chorus]
oh, mr. jones, just what’s going on?
what’s this thing you’re giving me, mr. jones?
oh, mr. jones, just what’s going on?
what’s this thing you’re giving me, mr. jones?

[outro]
oh, mr. jones (what’s going on?), just what’s going on?
(don’t leave me this way, i’ll get your money)
what’s this thing you’re giving me, mr. jones?
(hey, mr. jones, come on, what is this thing?)
just what’s going on?
(could it be love potion number 9? hey, mr. jones, don’t go)
what’s this thing you’re giving me, mr. jones?
(come back here)
