Four Pounds A Day

A D A A D E D A E A D E A A D A The rain is falling on the site, the tea's upon the brew, A D E We're sittin' on our arseholes with bugger-all to do. D A E Outside our picks and shovels lads, they slowly rust away. A D E A We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day. A D A Four pounds a day my lads and nothing much to do, A D E No trouble from the foreman he's in the union too. D A E Some want the rain to go to Spain we want the rain to stay. A D E A We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day. A D A It's early in the morning, we start at ten o'clock, A D E We search the skies impatiently, Bejays! I felt a drop. D A E The can lads are on bonus and each brew means better pay. A D E A We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day. A D A Four pounds a day my lads and nothing much to do, A D E No trouble from the foreman he's in the union too.

A D A So Freddie get the cards out, the racing page as well, A D E And as for the contractors we hope they go to hell. D A E It looks as if the rain's set in, we shan't do much today. A D E A What matter if on Friday we all draw our pay. A D A Four pounds a day my lads and nothing much to do, A D E No trouble from the foreman he's in the union too. D A E Some want the rain to go to Spain we want the rain to stay. A D E A We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day.
