NOW HERE'S A LITTLE STORY
TO TELL IT IS A MUST
ABOUT AN UNSUNG HERO
THAT MOVES AWAY YOUR DUST
SOME PEOPLE MAKE A FORTUNE
OTHERS EARN A MINT
MY OLD MAN DON'T EARN MUCH
IN FACT HE'S FLIPPIN' SKINT
OH, MY OLD MAN'S A DUSTMAN
HE WEARS A DUSTMAN'S HAT
HE WEARS
GAWD BLIMEY TROUSERS
AND HE LIVES IN A COUNCIL FLAT
HE LOOKS A
PROPER 'NANA
IN HIS GREAT
BIG HOBNAIL BOOTS
HE'S GOT SUCH A JOB
TO PULL 'EM UP
THAT HE CALLS
THEM DAISY ROOTS
SOME FOLKS
GIVE TIPS AT CHRISTMAS
AND SOME OF THEM FORGET
SO, WHEN HE PICKS
THEIR BINS UP
HE SPILLS SOME ON THE STEP
NOW ONE OLD MAN GOT NASTY
AND TO THE COUNCIL WROTE
NEXT TIME MY OLD MAN
WENT 'ROUND THERE
HE PUNCHED HIM UP THE THROAT
OH, MY OLD MAN'S A DUSTMAN
HE WEARS A DUSTMAN'S HAT
HE WEARS
GAWD BLIMEY TROUSERS
AND HE LIVES IN A COUNCIL FLAT
I SAY, I SAY, LES
I, ERR...
I FOUND A POLICE DOG
IN MY DUSTBIN
HE HAD A POLICEMAN WITH HIM
THOUGH MY OLD
MAN'S A DUSTMAN
HE'S GOT AN HEART OF GOLD
HE GOT MARRIED RECENTLY
THOUGH HE'S
EIGHTY-SIX YEARS OLD
WE SAID, 'ERE, HANG ON, DAD
YOU'RE GETTIN' PAST YOUR PRIME
HE SAID, WELL
WHEN YOU GET MY AGE
IT HELPS TO PASS THE TIME
OI! MY OLD MAN'S A DUSTMAN
HE WEARS A DUSTMAN'S HAT
HE WEARS
GAWD BLIMEY TROUSERS
AND HE LIVES IN A COUNCIL FLAT
I SAY, I SAY, I SAY
MY DUSTBIN'S FULL OF LILLIES
I CAN'T LILLY'S WEARIN' THEM
NOW ONE DAY WHILST IN A HURRY
HE MISSED A LADY'S BIN
HE HADN'T GONE
BUT A FEW YARDS
WHEN SHE CHASED AFTER HIM
WHAT GAME DO
YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYIN'
SHE CRIED RIGHT
FROM THE HEART
YOU'VE MISSED ME
AM I TOO LATE
NO, JUMP UP ON THE CART
OH, MY OLD MAN'S A DUSTMAN
HE WEARS A DUSTMAN'S HAT
HE WEARS
GAWD BLIMEY TROUSERS
AND HE LIVES IN A COUNCIL FLAT
I SAY, I SAY, I SAY
MY DUSTBIN'S ABSOLUTELY
FULL WITH TOADSTOOLS
'CAUSE THERE'S NOT
MUCH ROOM INSIDE
HE FOUND A
TIGER'S HEAD ONE DAY
NAILED TO A PIECE OF WOOD
THE TIGER LOOKED
QUITE MISERABLE
BUT I SUPPOSE HE SHOULD
JUST THEN FROM OUT A WINDOW
A VOICE BEGAN TO WAIL
HE SAID, OI
WHERE'S ME TIGER'S HEAD
FOUR FOOT FROM HIS TAIL
OH, MY OLD MAN'S A DUSTMAN
HE WEARS A DUSTMAN'S HAT
HE WEARS
GAWD BLIMEY TROUSERS
AND HE LIVES IN A COUNCIL FLAT
NEXT TIME YOU SEE A DUSTMAN
LOOKIN' ALL PALE AND SAD
DON'T KICK HIM IN THE DUSTBIN
IT MIGHT BE MY OLD DAD...
