Verse 1
Now (G major) here's a (E minor) little story,
(G major) to (A major) tell it is (D major) a must
(G major) About an unsung (E minor) hero
(G major) that (A major) moves away (D major) a dust
Some people make a fortune,
(A major) others earn (D major) a mint
My (A major) old man (D major) don't earn much.
In fact, (A major) (D major) he's flippin' skint.
(G major) Oh, my old man's a dustman.
He wears a dustman's (D major) hat.
He wears gold -blimey trousers
and he lives in a council (G major) flat.
He looks a proper nana
in his great big cocknail (C major) boots.
He's (D major) got such a job to (G major) pull them up
that he (D major) calls them daisy roots. (G major)
Some folks give tips at Christmas,
and some of them forget
(D major) So when he picks their bins up,
he spills some on the (G major) step
Now one old man got nasty,
and to the council wrote
Nex (D major) t time my old man went round there,
he punched him (G major) up the throat
Oh, (D major) (G major) my old man's a dustman,
he wears a dustman's (D major) hat
He wears Scott Blimey trousers,
and he lives in a council (G major) flat
I say, I say, Les Yeah?
I found a police dog in my dustbin.
Well, how do you know he's a police
dog?
He had a policeman with him.
Though my old man's a dustman,
he's got an (D major) heart of gold.
He got married recently,
though he's 86 years (G major) old.
We said, here, hang on, Dad,
you're getting past your (C major) prime.
(D major) He said, well, when you get my age,
it helps to pass the time.
My (G major) old man's a dustman,
he wears a dustman's (D major) hat.
He wears gold -blinded trousers
and he lives in a castle flat
(G major) I say, I say, I say
My dustbin's full of lilies
Well, throw them away then I can't,
Lily's wearing them
Now one day whilst in a hurry
He missed a lady's (D major) bin
He hadn't gone for a few yards
When she chased after (G major) him
What game do you think you're playing?
She cried right from the (C major) yard
You've (D major) missed me, am I too late?
Now jump up on the cart (G major)
He dustbin, he wears a (D major) dustbin set
He wears got blimey trousers
and he lives in the council flat
(G major) I say, I say, I say
What's you again?
My dustbin's absolutely
full with toadstool
How do you know it's full?
Because there's not mushroom inside
He found a tiger's set one day,
nailed to a piece of (D major) wood
The tiger looked quite miserable,
but I suppose he (G major) should
Just then, from out a window,
a voice began to (C major) wail
It (D major) said, oi,
where's me tiger's head?
Four foot from his tail!
Oh, (G major) my old man's a dustman,
he wears a dustman's (D major) hat
He wears gold blimey trousers,
and he lives in a council (G major) flat
Next time you see a dustman,
looking all pale and sad
(D major) Don't kick him in the dustbin,
it might be my old Dan! (G major) (C major) (G major)
You
