| 作词 : Williamson | |
| Last winter blew so cold no lies, | |
| And my fire smoke would not rise; | |
| Soon as the smoke tried to depart, | |
| It'd be froze up harder thatn a landlord's heart. | |
| I called up the police and they came around | |
| Three days later and very brought down. | |
| The sergeant he gave me this hysterical croak. | |
| Says, "What do you think you have going here, some kind of joke?" | |
| (of course I wasn't laughing) | |
| He says, "You're causing us officers so much grief, | |
| Why don't you give us some relief? | |
| Why don't you call the fire brigade? | |
| Or maybe why don't you try shovelling the smoke up the chimney with a spade." | |
| I borrowed a spade from the woman next door, | |
| And I broke up the smoke that remained on the floor, | |
| I was shovelling away, 'till the closing day singing a smoke-shovelling song. | |
| After working so hard I went out to my yard, | |
| And I looked up to my chimney so long, (there was nothing to see there) | |
| Just a thousand foot high, way into the sky, | |
| Was a pillar of smoke full of song. | |
| There was an airplane stuck in it, | |
| but I didn't notice at first it was so cunningly disguised as a dragon. | |
| Came the summer at last, though it was rainy and fast, | |
| The pillar it melted away, | |
| The airplane fell with a big smoky smell, | |
| And echoing around all over the town, | |
| Was the words of the smoke shovelling song. | |
| Any anyone telling a bigger story would have to be telling a lie, | |
| And anyone think a bigger one up, | |
| Have to be very high. |
