I take it this can be sung to the tune of " Early one morning , just as the
sun was rising......." ?
Well, I suppose it _could_...
It's actually a filk of Flanders and Swann 'The gas man cometh'. I am not
going to type out the original here (for all I have the songbook
alongside me...) but the original is something like
Monday : Gas man comes to call as I can't turn the gas tap. He pulls out
all the skirting boards
Tuesday : Carpenter comes to put skirting boards back, nails through a cable
Wednesday : Electrican comes, puts foot through window trying to reach
the fusebox
Thursday : Glazier comes to fix window, burns paint off wall with the
blowlamp
Friday : Painter comes to paint the wall, but also paints over the gas
tap, so I can't turn it on.
Repeat :-)...
You didn't mention , but it seems to fit - just .
Geoff.
