| Song Lyrics: |
'Twas on a Monday morning, the gas man came to call
The gas tap wouldn't turn, I wasn't getting gas at all
He tore out all the skirting-boards to try and find the main
And I had to call a carpenter to put them back again.
Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
'Twas on a Tuesday morning the carpenter came 'round
He hammered and he chiseled and he said, "Look what I've found,
"Your joists are full of dry-rot, but I'll put them all to rights."
Then he nailed right through a cable, and out went all the lights.
Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
'Twas on a Wednesday morning, the electrician came
He called me "Mr Saunderson" which isn't quite me name
He couldn't reach the fuse-box without standing on a bin
And his foot went through a window, so I called the glazier in.
Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
'Twas on a Thursday morning, the glazier came along
With his blow-torch, and his putty, and his merry gla-a-zier's song
He put another pane in, it took no time at all,
But I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall.
Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
'Twas on a Friday morning, the painter made a start
With undercoats and overcoats; he painted every part
Every nook and every cranny, but I found when he had gone...
He'd painted over the gas tap, and I couldn't turn it on.
Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
On Saturday and Sunday, the do no work at all,
So 'twas on the Monday morning, that the gas-man came to call. (Shalom) |
