Any anyone telling a bigger story
But I didn't notice at first
I borrowed a spade from the woman next door
The pillar it melted away
Of course I wasn't laughing
And I looked up to my chimney so long
It was so cunningly disguised as a dragon
Or maybe why don't you try shovelling
Was the words of the smoke shovelling song
"What do you think you have going here, some kind of joke?"
Was a pillar of smoke full of song
Why don't you give us some relief?
There was an airplane stuck in it
And echoing around all over the town
'Till the closing day singing a smoke-shovelling song
After working so hard I went out to my yard
Come the summer at last, though it was rainy and fast
And I broke up the smoke that remained on the floor
The smoke up the chimney with a spade"
Why don't you call the fire brigade?
There was nothing to see there
Now the airplane fell with a big smoky smell
Soon as the smoke would tried to depart
Three days later and very brought down
I was shovelling away
Would have to be telling a lie
I called up the police yes and they came around
Just a thousand foot high, way into the sky
He says, "You're causing us officers so much grief
And anyone think a bigger one up
Sergeant he gave me this hysterical croak says
It'd be froze up harder than a landlord's heart
