Last winter blew so cold no lies[00:00:00]
And my fire smoke would not rise[00:00:08]
Soon as the smoke tried to depart[00:00:13]
It'd be froze up harder that a landlord's heart[00:00:19]
Now I called up the police yes and they came around[00:00:27]
Three days later and very brought down[00:00:35]
The sergeant he gave hysterical croak[00:00:40]
Says what do you think you have going here some kind of joke[00:00:46]
Of course I wasn't laughing[00:00:53]
He says you're causing us officers so much grief[00:00:59]
Why don't you give us some relief[00:01:06]
Why don't you call the fire brigade[00:01:10]
Or maybe why don't you try shovelling the smoke up chimney with a spade[00:01:16]
Now I borrowed a spade from the woman next door[00:01:33]
And I broke up the smoke that remained on the floor[00:01:40]
I shovelling away till the closing day[00:01:46]
And singing a smoke shovelling song[00:01:51]
After working so hard I went out to my yard[00:02:06]
Now I looked up to my chimney so long there was nothing to see there[00:02:13]
Just a thousand foot high way into the sky[00:02:19]
Was a pillar of smoke full of song[00:02:25]
There was an airplane stuck in it[00:02:30]
But I didn't notice at first it was so cunningly disguised as a dragon[00:02:32]
Came the summer at last though it was rainy and fast[00:02:52]
The pillar it melted away[00:03:01]
Now the airplane fell with a big smoky smell[00:03:08]
And echoing around all over the town[00:03:12]
Was the words of the smoke shovelling song[00:03:16]
And anyone telling a bigger story would have to be telling a lie[00:03:21]
And anyone think a bigger one up[00:03:25]
Have to be very high[00:03:27]
