Thread Name: Lyr ADD: My Old Man's a Dustman!
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Old Man's a Dustman!
Wanting an another verse that kids would laugh at I wrote the following extra verse about thirty years ago which I have kept in . It works for me and you are welcome to sing it Dave but please don't refer to old people as "old dears".

   When my old man's not working he likes to be well dressed,
   He puts a suit and tie on, clean underpants and vest.
   He looks a proper dandy but there's always one thing wrong,
   He keeps his dustman's socks on - and phew they don't half pong.

      I stop the guitar and sing the final phrase holding my nose.Works every time. But that's kids for you.
