[00:00.000] Now here's a little story to tell
[00:05.002] It is a must about an unsung hero
[00:13.283] That moves away your dust
[00:18.429] Some people make a fortune, others earn a mint
[00:24.908] My old man don't earn much
[00:28.748] In fact he's flippin' skint
[00:36.323] Oh, my old man's a dustman
[00:38.308] He wears a dustman's hat, he wears cor-blimey trousers
[00:42.227] And he lives in a council flat
[00:44.108] He looks a proper nana in his great big hobnail boots
[00:48.000] He's got such a job to pull them up
[00:49.959] That he calls 'em daisy roots
[00:51.709] Some folks give tips at Christmas, and some of them forget
[00:58.684] So when he picks their bins up, he spills some on the step
[01:02.341] Now one old man got nasty and to the council wrote
[01:06.051] Next time my old man went 'round there, he punched him up the throat
[01:09.760] Oh my old man's a dustman
[01:11.954] He wears a dustman's hat, he wears cor-blimey trousers
[01:15.559] And he lives in a council flat
[01:17.623] Lonnie: I say, I say, Les
[01:18.798] Les: Yes?
[01:20.261] Lonnie: I, er, I found a police dog in my dustbin
[01:22.743] Les: Well how do you do know he's a police dog?
[01:24.467] Lonnie: He had a policeman with him
[01:28.777] Though my old man's a dustman, he's got an 'eart of gold
[01:32.617] He got married recently, though he's eighty-six years old
[01:36.431] We said "'Ere, hang on, Dad, you're getting past your prime"
[01:40.219] He said "Well, when you get to my age, it helps to pass the time."
[01:44.346] Oi! My old man's a dustman
[01:45.887] He wears a dustman's hat, he wears cor-blimey trousers
[01:49.701] And he lives in a council flat
[01:51.477] _I say, I say, I say!
[01:52.836] _Huh
[01:53.541] Lonnie: My dustbin's full of lilies
[01:54.900] Les: Well throw 'em away then!
[01:56.258] Lonnie: I can't. Lily's wearing them
[02:00.803] Now one day whilst in a hurry, he missed a lady's bin
[02:04.591] He hadn't gone but a few yards when she chased after him
[02:08.718] "What game do you think you're playing?" “
[02:10.468] She cried right from the 'eart
[02:12.271] "You've missed me, am I too late?" “
[02:14.256] "No, jump up on the cart!" “
[02:16.451] Oi! My old man's a dustman
[02:18.201] He wears a dustman's hat, he wears cor-blimey trousers
[02:21.936] And he lives in a council flat
[02:23.686] Lonnie: I say, I say, I say!
[02:25.175] _Not you again!
[02:27.709] Lonnie: My dustbin's absolutely full with toadstools
[02:30.713] Les: How do you know it's full?
[02:32.150] Lonnie: 'Cause there's not mushroom inside
[02:36.852] He found a tiger's head one day nailed to a piece of wood
[02:40.875] The tiger looked like miserable
[02:42.756] But I suppose he should
[02:44.532] Just then from out a window, a voice began to wail
[02:48.320] It said "Oi! Where's me tiger's head?" “
[02:50.566] "Four foot from his tail." “
[02:52.421] Oh my old man's a dustman
[02:54.093] He wears a dustman's hat, he wears cor-blimey trousers
[02:57.855] And he lives in a council flat
[02:59.657] Next time you see a dustman
[03:01.930] Looking all pale and sad
[03:03.602] Don't kick him in the dustbin
[03:05.300] It might be my old dad
