Dear Sir I write this note to you to tell you of me' plight For at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight Me body is all black and blue Me face a deathly grey And I write this note to tell you why I'm not at work today
While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear But to toss them down from such a height was not a good idea The foreman wasn't very pleased, he is an awkward sod He said I'd have to cart them down the ladders in me hod
Now shifting all those bricks by hand it was so very slow So I hoisted up a barrel and secured a rope below But in me haste to do the job I was to blind to see That a barrel full of building bricks is heavier than me
And so when I untied the rope the barrel fell like lead And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead I shot up like a rocket til' to my dismay I found That half way up I met the bloody barrel comin' down
Now the barrel broke me shoulder, as to the ground it sped And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head I clung on tightly numb with shock from this almightly blow And the barrel spilled out half the bricks fourteen floors below
Now when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor I then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more Still clinging tightly to the rope my body racked with pain Half way down I met the bloody barrel once again
Now the force of this collision halfway down the office block Caused multiple contusions and nasty state of shock Still clinging tightly to the rope I fell toward the ground And landed on the broken bricks the barrel had scattered round
Well I lay there groaning on the ground I thought I'd past the worst But the barrel hit the pulley wheel and then the bottom burst A shower of bricks rained down on me I didn't have a hope For as I lay there bleeding I let go of the bloody rope
The barrel being unsecured then started down once more And it landed right across me as I lay there on the floor It broke three ribs and my left arm and I can only say That I hope you'll understand why Murphy's not at work today...
