You can hear him sing, oh you can hear him sing
Sing a salesman's song and put you on, yeah
Selling fancy city things
And the whiskers spread like wings
Can I put you on, people, can I put you on?
And he don't care if it rains outside, there's a coal dust on his mind
It's a dirty work in Birmingham better deals for a Sheffield man
You can hear him sing, oh you can hear him sing
People, can I put you on?
Tell you that I love you people
Sing a salesman's song and put you on
Bang on the bell on Friday you'll buy a little something for yourself
Sold by the man in the trilby hat
And the van that comes around weekends
And a second cousin works in the pits in Newcastle on Tyne
People, can I put you on?
Selling fancy city things
Can I put you on, people, can I put you on?
And the whiskers spread like wings
Tell you that I love you people
Sold by the man with the trilby hat
If he can rivet then his kids can buy candy from the candy man
People, can I put you on?
Sing a salesman's song and put you on
And the van that comes around weekends
And the whiskers spread like wings
And the van that comes around weekends
Selling fancy city things
Can I put you on, people, can I put you on?
Tell you that I love you people
It's a hard days work in Manchester but the crew gets paid its gelt
Sold by the man in the trilby hat
You can hear him sing, you can hear him sing
