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...
