Up at eight
you can't be late
for Matthew & Son
he won't wait
Watch them run
down to platform one
and the eight-thirty train
to Matthew & Son
Matthew & Son
the work's never done
there's always
something new
The file's in your head
you take them to bed
you're never
ever through....
And they've been
working all day,
all day, all day!
There's a five
minute break
and that's all you take
for a cup of cold coffee
and a piece of cake
Matthew & Son
the work's never done
there's always
something new
The file's in your head
you take them to bed
you're never
ever through...
And they've been
working all day,
all day, all day!
He's got people
who've been working
for fifty years
No-one asks for more
money, cuz nobody cares
even though they're
pretty low and
their rent's in arrears
Matthew & Son
Matthew & Son
Matthew & Son
Matthew & Son
And they've been
working all day,
all day, all day!
