Poor Old Man

I say, old man, your house will burn
 ch. And I say so, and I know so!
An' we don't really give a damn
 ch. Poor old man!

It's too involved to risk a life
Be thankful that we got your wife

Rest easy now the fire crew's here
Did I mention we are volunteers?

I know it must be hard for a bloke
To watch your home go up in smoke

Cheer up now we've got a plan
Tell insurance it's worth two hundred grand

No use to cry, no good to fuss
Your house ain't worth a one of us

If you insist we'll take a stab
I think we still might save the slab

An' when it's out we'll overhaul
Wreck every ceiling, every wall

When we go in we'll work real hard
Throw all your belongings in the yard

After insurance compensation
Won't you please make a donation?

Into the truck we all must climb
To make the pub before closing time
