  G                                
I work for the foundry for a penny 
             G/F
and a half a day

         C                     G  
Like a blind street musician I 
            C/G  G
never see those who pay

     Am             C
It's dirty work in Birmingham

       C
Better deal for a Sheffield man

          G                       
If he can rivet then his kids can 
Am
buy

C                    C   C C G
Candy from the candy man


        F                    
And the van that comes around 
 C
weekends

Continues after the ad
        F            C
Selling fancy city things

F                        C
Sold by the man with the trilby hat

        F                    C/E
And the whiskers spread like wings

                 Am7
You can hear him sing

                     D
Oh you can hear him sing

                 G G/A          
Can I put you on,  people can I 
G/B     C  F/C
put you on

C                        G
Tell you that I love you people

                  F                
Sing a salesman's song and put you 
C  G/B  Am7  C C G
on


      G                         
And a second cousin works in the 
               G/F
pits in Newcastle on Tyne

       C                     
And he don't care if it rains 
                  G
outside, there's coal dust on his 
mind

     Am            C
It's dirty work in Manchester

        C                   C
But the crew gets paid its gelt

G                   Am
Bang on the bell on Friday

C                             
You buys a little something for 
  C       C C G
yourself

        F                    
And the van that comes around 
 C
weekends

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

  G    G/F  C                    
Oh!  Oh!  Oh!  People can I put 
     G
you on?
