The Bricklayer's Song Lyrics

Dear Sir I Write This Note To You To Tell You Of My Plight
For At The Time Of Writing It I'm Not A Pretty Sight
My Body Is All Black And Blue, My Face A Deathly Grey
And I Write This Note To Say Why I Am Not At Work Today

Whilst Working On The 14th Floor Some Bricks I Had To Clear
But Tossing Them Down FRom Such A Hight Was Not A Good Idea
The Foreman Wasn't Very Pleased He Is An Arkward Sod
And He Said I Had To Cart Them Down THe Ladders In Me Hod

Clearing All These Bricks By Hand It Was So Very Slow
So I Hoisted Up A Barrell And Secured A Rope Below
But In Me Haste To Do The Job, I Was To Blind To See
That A Barrell Full Of Building Bricks Was Heavier Than Me

And So When I Untied The Rope The Barrell Fell LIke Lead
And Clinging Tightly To THe Rope I Started Up Instead
I Shot Up Like A Rocket, And To My Dismay I Found
That Halfway Up I Met The Bloody Barrell Coming Down

Well The Barrell Broke Me Shoulder As To The Ground It Sped
And When I Reached The Top I Banged The Pulley With Me HeadCorpus Christi - The Bricklayer's Song - http://motolyrics.com/corpus-christi/the-bricklayers-song-lyrics.html
But I Clung On Tightly None With Shock From This Allmighty Blow
While The Barrel Spilled Out Half Its Bricks Some 14 Floors Below

When These Bricks Had Fallen FRom The Barrell To The Floor
I Then Outweighed The Barrell And So Started Down Once More
But I Clung On Tightly To The Rope My Body Racked With Pain
And Halfway Down I Met The Bloody Barrell Once Again

Now The Force Of This Collision Halfway Down The Office Block
Caused Multiple Abrations And A Nasty Case Of Shock
But I Clung On Tightly To The Rope As I Fell Towards The Ground
And I Landed On The Broken BRicks The Barrell Had Scatterred Round.

Now As I Lay There On The GRound I Thought I'd Passed The Worst
But The Barrel Hit The Pulley Wheel And Then The Bottom Burst
A Shower Of Bricks Rained Down On Me I Didn't Have A Hope
As I Lay There Bleeding On The Ground I Let Go The Bloody Rope

The Barrell Now Being Heavier So Started Down Once More
It Landed Right Across Me As I Lay There On The Floor
It BRoke 3 ribs And My Left Arm And I Can Only Say
I Hope You'll Understand Why I Am Not At Work Today
