G             C          G  
My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman’s hat  
G                C          G  
He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat  
D                   C                G  
He looks a proper mug in his great big old clogs  
G             C            G  
He's got a job to do, he’s got to clear the dogs  

G             C          G  
My old man's a dustman, he’s got a great big cart  
G               C           G  
He picks up all the rubbish and he’s got a good old heart  
D                   C              G  
He’s got a lot of work to do, he’s never on his own  
G             C          G  
He takes the rubbish out, before he comes home  

(Chorus)  
G                 C             G  
Oh, my old man’s a dustman, he’s the best that I can see  
G                   C              G  
He’s a proper old-fashioned man, he’s always looking out for me  
D                 C           G  
With a smile upon his face and a twinkle in his eye  
G                 C             G  
You just can’t help but love him, that’s the reason why
