Verse 1
Now (G major) here's a (E minor) little story, (G major)
(A major) to tell it is (D major) a must
(G major) About an unsung (E minor) hero
that (G major) (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 (A major) fact, (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 -blinded trousers
and he lives in a council (G major) flat.
He looks a proper nana
in his great big cock -nailed (C major) boots.
He's (D major) got such a job to (G major) pull them up
that he calls them daisy (D major) 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 wro (C major) te
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 flat
(G major) I say, say, Les,
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 (G major) flat
I say, I say, I say
My dustbin's full of lilies
Well, throw them away then I can't,
lilies 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 him
What (G major) game do you think you're playing?
She cried right from the (C major) heart
You've (D major) missed me, am I too late?
Now jump up on the cot
(G major) He wears a 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 toadstools
How do you know it's full?
Cos 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 (C major) sad
Don't (D major) kick him in the dustbin
Outro 1
It might be my whole day
(G major) (C major) (G major)
