The Gas Man Cometh - Flanders & Swann[00:00:00]

Written by：Donald Swann/Michael Flanders[00:00:01]

'Twas on a Monday morning[00:03:33]

The gas man came to call[00:03:35]

The gas tap wouldn't turn I wasn't getting gas at all[00:03:37]

He tore out all the skirting boards[00:03:41]

To try and find the main[00:03:43]

And I had to call a carpenter to put them back again[00:03:45]

Oh it all makes work for the working man to do[00:03:49]

'Twas on a Tuesday morning[00:03:56]

The carpenter came round[00:03:57]

He hammered and he chiselled and he said 'look what I've found[00:03:59]

Your joists are full of dry rot[00:04:03]

But I'll put it all to rights'[00:04:05]

Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights[00:04:06]

Oh it all makes work for the working man to do[00:04:11]

'Twas on a Wednesday morning[00:04:16]

The electrician came[00:04:18]

He called me 'Mr Sanderson' which isn't quite my name[00:04:19]

He couldn't reach the fuse box[00:04:23]

Without standing on the bin[00:04:25]

And his foot went through a window so I called a glazier in[00:04:27]

Oh it all makes work for the working man to do[00:04:30]

Twas on a Thursday morning[00:04:36]

The glazier came along[00:04:38]

With his blow torch and his putty and his merry glazier's song[00:04:40]

He put another pane in[00:04:45]

It took no time at all[00:04:47]

But I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall[00:04:48]

Oh it all makes work for the working man to do[00:04:52]

'Twas on a Friday morning[00:04:58]

The painter made a start[00:04:59]

With undercoats and overcoats he painted every part[00:05:01]

Every nook and every cranny[00:05:05]

But I found when he was gone[00:05:07]

He'd painted over the gas tap and I couldn't turn it on[00:05:09]

Oh it all makes work for the working man to do[00:05:13]

On Saturday and Sunday they do no work at all[00:05:16]

So 'twas on a Monday morning that the gas man came to call[00:05:21]
