Start Jamming...
But stay with radio, if you had listened to the Top 20 on April 25th, 1957, you'd have found our next guest's first hit at number one.
Three years later, on the same date, he was back at number one with another record.
And 27 years later, today, he's back here with both of them.
He is Lonnie Donegan.
[E]
[B] [E]
Here's [B] Lonnie.
[E]
[G] Now here's a [Em] little story
[Eb] To tell it is [D] a must
[G] About an unsung [Em] hero
That moves [D] away a dust
Some [A] people earn a fortune, others earn a mint
[E] My old man don't earn much
[A] In feet, he's flippin' [Ab] skeet
[D] [G]
My old man's a dustman, he wears [D] a dustman's hat
He wears gold-plated trousers and he lives in a castle [G] flat
He looks a proper narner in his great big old [C] mail boots
[D] He's got such a job to pull them up that he calls them [G] dozies
One day, he happened in a hurry
He'd missed a [D] lady's bin
[Bm] He hadn't gone but a few yards away, [G] she chased after him
What game do you think you're playing?
She cried right [C] from the heart
[D] You've missed me, am I too late?
[Abm] Now jump up on the cart
[G] My old man's a dustman, he [D] wears a dustman's hat
He wears gold-plated trousers and he [G] lives in a castle flat
I say, I say, I say, I say
Dad found a tiger's head one day, nailed to a [D] lump of wood
The tiger looked quite miserable, but I [G] suppose he should
Just then, from out of a window, a voice began to [D] wail
It said, Oi, where's the tiger's head?
Four [Ab] foot from his tail
[G] My old man's a dustman, he wears a [D] dustman's hat
He wears gold-plated trousers and he [G] lives in a castle flat
Next time you see a dustman, and he's looking all [C] pale and sad
[D] Don't kick him in the dustbin, cos it might be my [G] fall day
[N]
