THE PLUMBER

I said “I need a plumber”.
He said “Why not use mine?”
I said “Oh, is he Polish?”
He said “No, but she’ll do fine”

“She?” I said a bit surprised
“Yes” he said “Me wife.”
“She’s a very handy lady”,
So early on next morning,
She turned up on her bike,
And marched into the bathroom
With her spanners and the like.

‘Fore I could say ‘Jack Robinson’
She’d fixed the leaking tap,
She’d tightened up the ballcock
So there won’t be no mishap.

So all the folks around here,
Whenever there’s a leak
Just send out a call for Lilian,
She’s kept busy every week.
