lyrics

What exactly do you do for a living?

Well... I've been know to do
Some painting, decorating, bricklaying
Dog training and Wedding DJing..

Welding, gelding, fencing
I've even carried stuff for Sherpa Tenzing

I've been a farmer, a snake charmer
Bill wrote a lesson for the Dalai Lama

Carl's qualified in cod psychology
And I can turn my hand to gynocology

A butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker
An overachiever as an undertaker

Personal services, assisted showers
Fact creation 24 hours

A little bit of this
A little bit of that
I don't charge much
And I won't charge VAT
Tell me what you want and I'll change me hat
I've been there, I've done it
I tell ya...
I can do that

I can do that.
Just cash, just cash.
Don't mention anything to the tax man
And don't write anything down
I can do that, a little bit of this, a little bit of that
Turn me hand to anything really
Alright then

I've been a gigolo for Kate Bigelow (nice)
An understudy baritone in Figaro

I fixed a football match, a fridge and a car.
We once ran the bar at a bar mitzvah,

A lorry driver and a diver for pearls
I taught the Dagenham Girl Pipers how to do their twirls

I sold a skip load of make up to Katie Price
Some wholesale pharmacy... did that twice

I've been a goody, a baddy
Trevino's caddy
Ask me nicely
And I'll be your daddy

Bespoke bicycle and boiler repair
And if you don't pay Our Bill...
You'll get hospice care

A little bit of this
A little bit of that
I don't charge much
And I won't charge VAT
Tell me what you want and I'll change me hat
I've been there, I've done it
I tell ya...
I can do that

Rumour has it that times are hard
But I say
It's simple economic theory
Like that bloke Milton Keynes says
Somthing'll turn up

But my ultimate ambition
What I want to do most of all
Is to do nothing at all
like our good friend Matt Percival

Men With Ven London, UK

Three men and nearly as many chords, on the road from Barking to Deptford. Telling it the way it is, in pubs and markets, treading the highway and the sticky carpet.
