They're Moving Father's Grave to Build a Sewer with Tommy Makem

歌詞

They're moving father's grave to build a sewer They're moving him regardless of expense They've dug up his remains to lay down nine-inch drains To irrigate some posh bloke's residence. Now, what's the use of having a religion If when you're dead, your troubles never cease 'Cause some society chap wants a pipeline to his... john And moves you from your place of rest and peace Now, in his lifetime, father never was a quitter And I'm sure that he won't be a quitter now And in his winding sheet, he will haunt that privy seat And only let them go when he'll allow Now won't there be some bloomin' consternation And won't those city toffs begin to rave But it's no more than they deserve, for havin' the bleedin' nerve To muck about with a British workman's grave
