Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Old Man's a Dustman! From: GUEST,Songbird Date: 13 Nov 01 - 03:10 AM More bits of verses,
One day when out collecting, he missed a lady's bin. He hadn't been gone a minute, when she came after him. She .......?????(I've forgotten this line) "You've missed me. Am I too late?". "No jump up on the cart!"
Though my old man's a dustman, he's got a heart of gold. He got married recently though he's eighty one years old. We said, "Hang on a minute dad, you're getting past your prime!". He said "I know, but when you get my age, it helps to pass the time."

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Old Man's a Dustman! From: Greg F. Date: 11 Nov 01 - 06:36 PM The Smothers Brothers on this side of the pond did a version of this in their early days- possibly on their "Live at the Purple Onion" (I think) album..... whether the dustman version came first, I can't say. I'll try & do some digging. Best, Greg |
Subject: My Old Man's a Dustman! From: GUEST,David Gallois gallois@sympatico.ca Date: 11 Nov 01 - 06:02 PM Greetings all: I play guitar at an old folks homes and one of the ol'dears asked me to play this song. Well, I can find the lyrics/chords anywhere. Please would you be able to help... The chourus is: My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustmans hat, he wears cor-blimy trousers, and lives in a council flat. As kids we used to sing an alternate last two lines: "he farted through the key hole, and paralised the cat"! Any help you have will be most appreciated. Thank you.
