Now here's a little story to tell it is a must
About an unsung hero that moves away your dust
Some people make a fortune other's earn a mint
My old man don't earn much
In fact....he's flippin'.....skint
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper narner in his great big hob nailed boots
He's got such a job to pull em up that he calls them daisy roots
Some folks give tips at Christmas and some of them forget
So when he picks their bins up he spills some on the steps
Now one old man got nasty and to the council wrote
Next time my old man went 'round there he punched him up the throat
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
I say I say Duncan! I 'er...I found a police dog in my dustbin
(How do you know he's a police dog?) He had a policeman with him
Though my old man's a dustman he's got a heart of gold
He got married recently though he's 86 years old
We said 'Ere, Hang on Dad you're getting past your prime'
He said 'Well when you get to my age it helps to pass the time'
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
I say I say I say! My dustbins full of lillies
(Well throw 'em away then) I can't Lilly's wearing them
Now one day while in a hurry he missed a lady's bin
He hadn't gone but a few yards when she chased after him
'What game do you think you're playing' she cried right from the heart
'You've missed me...am I too late?'
'No... jump up on the cart'
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
I say I say I say
What you again!
My dustbin's absolutely full with toadstools
How do you know it's full
'Cos there's not much room inside
He found a tiger's head one day, nailed to a piece of wood
The tiger looked quite miserable but I suppose it should
Just then from out a window, a voice began to wail
He said: Oi! Where's me tiger head!? Four foot from it's tail!
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
Next time you see a dustman looking all pale and sad
Don't kick him in the dustbin it might be my old dad
Lonnie Donegan (Anthony James Donegan, 1931-2002) was a Scottish singer and guitarist considered the father of skiffle, a popular music genre in the 1950s that influenced the birth of rock and roll. Donegan began his career as a jazz and blues musician, playing in local bands before emerging in 1954 with his single "Rock Island Line". The song became an immediate success, topping the British charts and launching Donegan to international fame. His musical style, characterized by fast rhythms, catchy melodies, and simple lyrics, inspired generations of musicians, including the Beatles, who cited him as one of their main influences. Donegan released numerous successful albums throughout the 1950s and 1960s, collaborating with artists such as Chuck Berry and Bill Haley. Among his most famous songs are "My Old Man's a Dustman", "Does Your Mother Know?" and "Puttin' on the Style". Despite the decline of skiffle in the 1960s, Donegan continued to record music until the end of his career. His musical legacy remains alive, recognizing him as a pioneer of rock and roll and a fundamental artist in the history of popular music.
