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