作词 : Williamson | |
Last winter blew so cold no lies, | |
And my fire smoke would not rise; | |
Soon as the smoke tried to depart, | |
It'd be froze up harder thatn a landlord's heart. | |
I called up the police and they came around | |
Three days later and very brought down. | |
The sergeant he gave me this hysterical croak. | |
Says, "What do you think you have going here, some kind of joke?" | |
(of course I wasn't laughing) | |
He says, "You're causing us officers so much grief, | |
Why don't you give us some relief? | |
Why don't you call the fire brigade? | |
Or maybe why don't you try shovelling the smoke up the chimney with a spade." | |
I borrowed a spade from the woman next door, | |
And I broke up the smoke that remained on the floor, | |
I was shovelling away, 'till the closing day singing a smoke-shovelling song. | |
After working so hard I went out to my yard, | |
And I looked up to my chimney so long, (there was nothing to see there) | |
Just a thousand foot high, way into the sky, | |
Was a pillar of smoke full of song. | |
There was an airplane stuck in it, | |
but I didn't notice at first it was so cunningly disguised as a dragon. | |
Came the summer at last, though it was rainy and fast, | |
The pillar it melted away, | |
The airplane fell with a big smoky smell, | |
And echoing around all over the town, | |
Was the words of the smoke shovelling song. | |
Any anyone telling a bigger story would have to be telling a lie, | |
And anyone think a bigger one up, | |
Have to be very high. |
