Karaoké My Old Man's a Dustman (live) Lonnie Donegan

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 cor-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 them up

That he calls 'em daisy roots

Some folks give tips at Christmas and some of them forget

Ah ah

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 cor-blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat

I say I say Les

I er I found a police dog

Yes?

In my dustbin he had a policeman with him

Well how do you know he's a police dog?

Though my old man's a dustman he's got an 'eart of gold

He got married recently though he's eighty-six years old

We said ere hang on Dad you're getting past your prime

He said well when you get my age it helps to pass the time

Hey

My old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat

He wears cor-blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat

I say I say I say my dustbin's full of lilies

Huh? well throw 'em away then

I can't Lily's wearing 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 playing? she cried right from the 'eart

You've missed me am I too late? no jump up on the cart

My old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat

He wears cor-blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat

I say I say I say my dustbin's absolutely

Not you again full with toadstools

How do you know it's full?

'Cos there's not mushroom inside

Hey

He found a tiger's head one day nailed to a piece of wood

The tiger looked like miserable but I suppose he should

Just then from out a window a voice began to wail

It 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 cor-blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat

Next time you see a dustman looking all pale and sad

Don't kick him in the dustbin it might be my old dad
