DO IT MYSELF

The ceiling inspector's coming
No time to relax
Got to check for dampness
Got to fill in the cracks
Pass me the lubricant
This joint's very stiff
Give me a bunk-up
We’ll have it off in a jiff.

Despite the fruit and fibre
A man of my calibre
Must consider his state of health
So shorten your distance
I need your assistance
I can’t do it myself.

It’s gonna get messy
So put down some sheets
This job could take hours
I had one that took weeks.
Is the spirit level?
Any oil in the can?
Squeeze it very tightly
It’ll come off in your hand.

Despite the fruit and fibre
A man of my calibre
Must consider his state of health
So get off the sofa
Don’t be a crusty loafer
I can’t do it myself.

I’ve whitewashed the back doors
Plastered the hall
I’ve coated the kitchen
Screwed in a false wall
You say these all this banging
Has gotten you aroused
Do you expect me to do you
After I’ve done up the house?

Despite the fruit and fibre
A man of my calibre
Must consider his state of health
I’ll get out my tools
You get out the overalls
I can’t do it myself.
