Carpet Man
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
and multiple other artists



When you see some puddles on the ground
You lay down so she don't have to walk around
You think that will protect her from the rain
But you'll never ever stop the pain
She walks all over you 
You know she can, she knows she can 
You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man

You take such care to keep that girl's feet clean
Like she's some kind of figurine
The world's so far below her it's not her scene
And so she uses you to stand between
She walks all over you
You know she can, she knows she can 
You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man

I would think you'd get tired of hurtin' 
Every now and then
It's no good down there that's for certain
And carpets do get thin
And that's when they have to be thrown away 
That's what she'll say to herself some sunny day 
And she'll say come to my wedding and of course you do
And then the groom and her will have a dance on you
She walks all over you 
You know she can, she knows she can 
You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man
