    G        D/F#    Em       A7           D7
Now here's a little story to tell it is a must
  G      D/F#   Em         A7              D7
About an unsung hero that moves away your dust
      A7           D7      A7             D7
Some people make a fortune other's earn a mint
A7                            D7      A7               D7
My old man don't earn much In fact....he's flippin'.....skint


[Chorus]
D7 G                                         D7
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
                                                       G
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
                                      G7               C
He looks a proper narner in his great big hob nailed boots
      D7                                                    G

   G                                               D7

                                                     G
So when he picks their bins up he spills some on the steps
                             G7               C
Now one old man got nasty and to the council wrote
      D7                                                     G
Next time my old man went 'round there he punched him up the throat


[Chorus]

                                             D7

                                G7                  C
We said 'Ear! Hang on Dad you're getting past your prime'
         D7                                                 G
He said 'Well when you get to my age it helps to pass the time'


[Chorus]

    G                                           D7
Now one day while in a hurry he missed a lady's bin
                                                     G
He hadn't gone but a few yards when she chased after him
                                            G7                    C
'What game do you think you're playing' she cried right from the heart
D7                                                        G
'You've missed me...am I too late?' 'No... jump up on the cart'



[Chorus]
       G                                        D7
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat

[Verse 5]
   G                                                 D7
He found a tiger's head one day, nailed to a piece of wood
                                                   G
The tiger looked quite miserable but I suppose it should
                                G7           C
Just then from out a window, a voice began to wail
D7                                                      G
He said (Oi! Where's me tiger head) Four foot from it's tail!

[Chorus]
    G                                           D7
Oh! my old man's a dustman he wears a dustman's hat
                                                        G
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
                               G7                 C
Next time you see a dustman looking all pale and sad
        D7                                       G5   F5 E5 Eb5 D     D F F# G
Don't kick him in the dustbin it might be my old dad
