about

Dedicated to Sidney Hausthor (3/22/1936 - 7/22/2020). He was everything the lyrics say and more. He will be missed, and he will be remembered. Part 6 of 12 in my personal song-a-month challenge.

lyrics

There once was a fellow called the Fix It Man
With a master brain and a master plan
(Hey-o the Fix It Man)
Son of the folks who hit New York with a
Tidal wave and a tuning fork
(Hey-o the Fix It Man
With a charming wit and a helping hand
Genius hands of a military band
Let the family toast to the Fix It Man)

The Fix It Man passed wisdom down to the
Triple lads of the borough round
(Hey-o the Fix It Man)
The mind of an expert engineer and
His kindness past the most sincere
(Hey-o the Fix It Man
With a charming wit and a helping hand
Genius hands of a military band
Let the family toast and the family sing
For the Fix It Man)

The Fix It Man as his name suggests
Could fix most things upon request
(Hey-o the Fix It Man)
He always would just to teach his sons
How to teach their kids and everyone
(Hey-o the Fix It Man
With a charming wit and a helping hand
Genius hands of a military band
Let the family toast and the family sing
And the family cry for the Fix It Man)

The Fix It Man would find his peace
In a book or a sport when the lasers ceased
(Hey-o the Fix It Man)
Though the Fix It Man has stopped his gears
He gave his family sixty years
(Hey-o the Fix It Man
With a charming wit and a helping hand
Genius hands of a military band
Let the family toast and the family sing
And the family cry and their voices ring
For the Fix It Man)

The Facades is the solo project of a queer electronic music composer (she/they) who thinks consistent gender and consistent genre are for scrubs. The characters they portray take a front seat, with a witty lyrical edge to speak truth to power.
