The Bricklayer's Song
Dear Sir I Write This Note To You To Tell You Of My Plight For At The Time Of Writing It I'm Not A Pretty Sight My Body Is All Black And Blue, My Face A Deathly Grey And I Write This Note To Say Why I Am Not At Work Today
Whilst Working On The 14th Floor Some Bricks I Had To Clear But Tossing Them Down From Such A Height Was Not A Good Idea The Foreman Wasn't Very Pleased He Is An Awkward Sod And He Said I Had To Cart Them Down The Ladders In Me Hod
Clearing All These Bricks By Hand It Was So Very Slow So I Hoisted Up A Barrel And Secured A Rope Below But In Me Haste To Do The Job, I Was Too Blind To See That A Barrel Full Of Building Bricks Was Heavier Than Me
And So When I Untied The Rope The Barrel Fell Like Lead And Clinging Tightly To The Rope I Started Up Instead I Shot Up Like A Rocket, And To My Dismay I Found That Halfway Up I Met The Bloody Barrel Coming Down
Well The Barrel Broke Me Shoulder As To The Ground It Sped And When I Reached The Top I Banged The Pulley With Me Head But I Clung On Tightly None With Shock From This Almighty Blow Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com While The Barrel Spilled Out Half Its Bricks Some 14 Floors Below
When These Bricks Had Fallen From The Barrell To The Floor I Then Outweighed The Barrel And So Started Down Once More But I Clung On Tightly To The Rope My Body Racked With Pain And Halfway Down I Met The Bloody Barrel Once Again
Now The Force Of This Collision Halfway Down The Office Block Caused Multiple Abrasions And A Nasty Case Of Shock But I Clung On Tightly To The Rope As I Fell Towards The Ground And I Landed On The Broken BRicks The Barrel Had Scatterred Round.
Now As I Lay There On The GRound I Thought I'd Passed The Worst But The Barrel Hit The Pulley Wheel And Then The Bottom Burst A Shower Of Bricks Rained Down On Me I Didn't Have A Hope As I Lay There Bleeding On The Ground I Let Go The Bloody Rope
The Barrel Now Being Heavier So Started Down Once More It Landed Right Across Me As I Lay There On The Floor It Broke Three Ribs And My Left Arm And I Can Only Say I Hope You'll Understand Why I Am Not At Work Today
