[00:00:00] The Gas Man Cometh - Flanders & Swann

[00:00:01] Written by：Donald Swann/Michael Flanders

[00:03:33] 'Twas on a Monday morning

[00:03:35] The gas man came to call

[00:03:37] The gas tap wouldn't turn I wasn't getting gas at all

[00:03:41] He tore out all the skirting boards

[00:03:43] To try and find the main

[00:03:45] And I had to call a carpenter to put them back again

[00:03:49] Oh it all makes work for the working man to do

[00:03:56] 'Twas on a Tuesday morning

[00:03:57] The carpenter came round

[00:03:59] He hammered and he chiselled and he said 'look what I've found

[00:04:03] Your joists are full of dry rot

[00:04:05] But I'll put it all to rights'

[00:04:06] Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights

[00:04:11] Oh it all makes work for the working man to do

[00:04:16] 'Twas on a Wednesday morning

[00:04:18] The electrician came

[00:04:19] He called me 'Mr Sanderson' which isn't quite my name

[00:04:23] He couldn't reach the fuse box

[00:04:25] Without standing on the bin

[00:04:27] And his foot went through a window so I called a glazier in

[00:04:30] Oh it all makes work for the working man to do

[00:04:36] Twas on a Thursday morning

[00:04:38] The glazier came along

[00:04:40] With his blow torch and his putty and his merry glazier's song

[00:04:45] He put another pane in

[00:04:47] It took no time at all

[00:04:48] But I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall

[00:04:52] Oh it all makes work for the working man to do

[00:04:58] 'Twas on a Friday morning

[00:04:59] The painter made a start

[00:05:01] With undercoats and overcoats he painted every part

[00:05:05] Every nook and every cranny

[00:05:07] But I found when he was gone

[00:05:09] He'd painted over the gas tap and I couldn't turn it on

[00:05:13] Oh it all makes work for the working man to do

[00:05:16] On Saturday and Sunday they do no work at all

[00:05:21] So 'twas on a Monday morning that the gas man came to call
