[C] 'Twas [F] on a Monday morn[C]ing the [F] gas man [C7] came to [F] call.
The [C7] gas tap wouldn't [F] turn ‐ I wasn't [C] getting gas at [C7] all.
He [F] tore out all the [Bb] skirting boards to [G] try and find the [C7] main
And I [C7] had to call a [F] carpenter to [G] put them back [F] again.
{c: }
[F] Oh, it all makes [G] work for the [F] working man to do.
{c: }
[C] 'Twas [F] on a Tuesday morn[C]ing the [F] carpen[C7]ter came [F] round.
He [Bb] hammered and he [F] chiselled and he said:
[C] "Look what I've [C7] found: your [F] joists are full of [Bb] dry rot
But I'll [G] put them all to [C7] rights".
Then he [C7] nailed right through a [F] cable and [C] out went all the [F] lights!
{c: }
[F] Oh, it all makes [G] work for the [F] working man to do.
{c: }
[C] 'Twas [F] on a Wednesday morn[C]ing the [F] elec[C7]trician [F] came.
He [C7] called me Mr. [F] Sanderson, which [G] isn't quite the [C7] name.
He [F] couldn't reach the [Bb] fuse box without [G] standing on the [C7] bin
And his [C7] foot went through a [F] window so I [G] called the glazier [F] in.
{c: }
[F] Oh, [C7] it [F] all makes work for the working man to do.
{c: }
[C] 'Twas [F] on a Thursday morn[C]ing the [F] glaz[C7]ier came [F] round
With his [Bb] blow torch and his [F] putty
and his [G] merry [Em] glazier's [C7] song.
He [F] put another [Bb] pane in - it [G] took no time at [C7] all
But I [C7] had to get a [F] painter in to [C] come and paint the [F] wall.
{c: }
[F] Oh, it all makes [G] work for the [F] working man to do.
{c: }
[C] 'Twas [F] on a Friday morn[C]ing the [F] painter [C7] made a [F] start.
With [C7] undercoats and [F] overcoats he [G] painted every [C7] part:
Every [F] nook and every [Bb] cranny ‐ but I [G] found when he was [C7] gone
He'd [C7] painted over the [F] gas tap and I [C] couldn't turn it [F] on!
{c: }
[F] Oh, it all makes [G] work for the [F] working man to do.
{c: }
On [F] Saturday and [F7] Sunday they [G] do no [D] work at [G] all;
[C] So 'twas [C7] on a Monday [F] morning that the [G] gasman came to [F] call...
