Don’t Forget Your Shovel lyrics

Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work

Oh, don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work

Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work

Or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us

(Diggin', diggin', diggin'...)

And don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all

Don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all.

Mr Murphy’s afraid you'll make a claim if you take a fall.

("How's it goin’?'"

"Not too bad")

And we want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes

We want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes

Yeah, we want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes

Well there's one thing you can say... we know where we are goin'...

("Any chance of a start?"

"No."

"Okay")

And if you want to do it... don't you do it against the wall

If you want to do it... don't you do it against the wall

Never seen a toilet on a building site at all

But there’s a shed up in the corner where they won't see you at all

("Mind your sandwiches!")

Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to Annascaul.

Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to Annascaul

Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to Annascaul

And when we're finished diggin' there they'll close the hole and all

Now there's six thousand five hundred and fifty-nine paddies

Over there in london all trying to dig their way back to Annascaul

And very few of them boys is going to get back at all...

I think that's terrible.

Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work

Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work

Oh, don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work

Or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us

(Diggin', diggin', diggin'...)
