  G                                             G/F
I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day

         C                     G              C/G  G
Like a blind street musician I never see those who pay

     Am             C
It's dirty work in Birmingham

       C
Better deal for a Sheffield man

          G                       Am
If he can rivet then his kids can buy

C                    C   C C G
Candy from the candy man


        F                     C
And the van that comes around weekends

        F            C
Selling fancy city things

F                        C
Sold by the man with the trilby hat

        F                    C/E
And the whiskers spread like wings

                 Am7
You can hear him sing

                     D
Oh you can hear him sing

                 G G/A          G/B     C  F/C
Can I put you on,  people can I put you on

C                        G
Tell you that I love you people

                  F                C  G/B  Am7  C C G
Sing a salesman's song and put you on


      G                                        G/F
And a second cousin works in the pits in Newcastle on Tyne

       C                                       G
And he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on his mind

     Am            C
It's dirty work in Manchester

        C                   C
But the crew gets paid its gelt

G                   Am
Bang on the bell on Friday

C                               C       C C G
You buys a little something for yourself

        F                     C
And the van that comes around weekends

Oh!  Oh!  Oh!  People can I put you on?
