The Bricklayer's Song
Dear Sir I Write This Note To You To Tell You Of My PlightFor At The Time Of Writing It I'm Not A Pretty SightMy Body Is All Black And Blue, My Face A Deathly GreyAnd I Write This Note To Say Why I Am Not At Work TodayWhilst Working On The 14th Floor Some Bricks I Had To ClearBut Tossing Them Down FRom Such A Hight Was Not A Good IdeaThe Foreman Wasn't Very Pleased He Is An Arkward SodAnd He Said I Had To Cart Them Down THe Ladders In Me HodClearing All These Bricks By Hand It Was So Very SlowSo I Hoisted Up A Barrell And Secured A Rope BelowBut In Me Haste To Do The Job, I Was To Blind To SeeThat A Barrell Full Of Building Bricks Was Heavier Than MeAnd So When I Untied The Rope The Barrell Fell LIke LeadAnd Clinging Tightly To THe Rope I Started Up InsteadI Shot Up Like A Rocket, And To My Dismay I FoundThat Halfway Up I Met The Bloody Barrell Coming DownWell The Barrell Broke Me Shoulder As To The Ground It SpedAnd When I Reached The Top I Banged The Pulley With Me HeadBut I Clung On Tightly None With Shock From This Allmighty BlowWhile The Barrel Spilled Out Half Its Bricks Some 14 Floors BelowWhen These Bricks Had Fallen FRom The Barrell To The Floor Letras de cancionesI Then Outweighed The Barrell And So Started Down Once MoreBut I Clung On Tightly To The Rope My Body Racked With Pain And Halfway Down I Met The Bloody Barrell Once AgainNow The Force Of This Collision Halfway Down The Office BlockCaused Multiple Abrations And A Nasty Case Of ShockBut I Clung On Tightly To The Rope As I Fell Towards The GroundAnd I Landed On The Broken BRicks The Barrell Had Scatterred Round.Now As I Lay There On The GRound I Thought I'd Passed The WorstBut The Barrel Hit The Pulley Wheel And Then The Bottom BurstA Shower Of Bricks Rained Down On Me I Didn't Have A HopeAs I Lay There Bleeding On The Ground I Let Go The Bloody RopeThe Barrell Now Being Heavier So Started Down Once MoreIt Landed Right Across Me As I Lay There On The FloorIt BRoke 3 ribs And My Left Arm And I Can Only SayI Hope You`ll Understand Why I Am Not At Work Today
