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,
She’s been plumbing all her life.”

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.
