Now some folks like to boast of their father's occupation,
|
Dustmen and the likes, and other situations.
|
That's so, our old man, working was 'is pride,
|
In 'obnailed boots and gaiters, and a dung fork at 'is side.
|
|
Chorus: Hi Ho, fiddle - iddle- o, Chesterfield to Cheddar,
|
Hi Ho, the folks all know, he's a champion dung-spreader!
|
|
Now many years ago, when Dad was in 'is power,
|
With a mighty two-hand swipe he hit the old church tower!
|
"Lord help us," cried the vicar, "Tis the judgement come!"
|
"Not so," said the verger, "Tis a hundredweight of dung!"
|
|
|
Repeat chorus
|
|
Now his aim was straight and true, when 'is arms start flailin'
|
We'd all look out the way, when they girt brown lumps go sailin'.
|
Just leave our old man where the dung lies piled up thick,
|
And he'll make it fly for miles with 'is girt big blackthorn stick!
|
|
|
Repeat chorus
|
|
Now as you all can see, father was quite contented
|
He had the finest job, since work it was invented!
|
And when our old man laid him down to die,
|
In a forty acre field, with the dung piled six foot high!
|
Repeat chorus (twice)
