    This month I was playing this song in my car on the way to a psychiatrist appointment weaving in and out of the lanes of roads at high speed, turning it up and rolling down my window inside the covered car park so everyone could hear it. I'm sure you understand.

    First heard The Chocolate Watchband in the mid-late 80s, when there was a garage revival of sorts happening in the college music scene of my area. This music never gets old.

    I first heard of The Chocolate Watchband from some friends who lived in North Beach. Shortly afterward, I got bored and when to the movies to check out "Riot on Sunset Strip." I was surprised to see The Watchband in that film. Many thanks, heavenlyblueorange!

    Don't ask me to move a mountain
    Don't ask me to swim your sea
    Don't think that I am a tower of strength
    Don't lean too much on me
    When looking to the future
    Don't build your dreams too high
    I beg you to remember
    I'm just an ordinary guy
    I ain't no miracle worker
    I do the best that I can
    I ain't no miracle worker
    I ain't no miracle man
    Ask me to be tender
    Don't ask me to be true
    Don't ask me for the love I have
    And I'll give it all to you
    But girl, I just can't offer
    No storybook romance
    Cause, give that's what you're looking for
    we just don't have a chance
    I ain't no miracle worker
    I ain't no miracle man
    I ain't no miracle worker
    I do the best that I can
    I ain't no miracle worker
    I'm not a miracle man
    I ain't no miracle worker
    I do the best that I can
