'Twas on a Monday morning, the Gas - man came to call,
C G A7 D D7
The gas tap wouldn't turn, I wasn't getting gas at all,
G G7 C G/B A7
He tore out all the skirting boards, to try and find the main,
C G/B A7 D7 G
And I had to call a carpenter to put them back a - gain,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Tuesday morning, the Carpen - ter came 'round,
C G A7 D D7
He hammered, and he chiselled, and he said," Look what I've found!
G G7 C G/B A7
Your joists are full of dry - rot, but I'll put it all to rights!"
C G/B A7 D7 G
Then he nailed right through a cable, ...and out went all the lights,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Wednesday morning, the Elec - trician came,
C G A7 D D7
He called me Mr. Sanderson, which isn't quite my name,
G G7 C G/B A7
He couldn't reach the fusebox without standing on the bin,
C G/B A7 D7 G
And his foot went through a window, so I called a Glazier in,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Thursday morning, the Glazier came a - long,
C G A7 A9 A7 D7
With his blow torch, and his putty, and his merry...Glaz - iers...song,
G G7 C G/B A7
He put another pane in, it took no time at all,
C G/B A7 D7 G
But I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Friday morning, the Painter made a start,
C G A7 D D7
With undercoats, and over coats, he painted every part,
G G7 C G/B A7
Every nook, and very cranny, but I found when he was gone...
C G/B A7 D7 G
...He'd painted over the gas-tap, and I couldn't turn it on,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do!
D7 G G7 C G/B A7
On Saturday, and Sunday, they do no work at all...
C G A7 D7 G D7 G
So, 'twas on a Monday morning that the gas-man came to call!
