Subject: Lyr Req: song about a worker (Harry? Brown)
I heard a great English song recently about a worker named Brown -- Harry, I think -- whose story, in a nutshell, is that the boss tells him to work harder, so he does, and in the final analysis he is fired because he is overproductive and thus throwing a monkey wrench into the system.

Sorry my memory is so fuzzy. It's a very funny song, and a great one to add to any "labor song" repertoire.

Can you help me find the song?
