Biografía:
The British duo, properly known as Michael Flanders & Donald Swann, was composed of the actor and singer Michael Flanders and the composer, pianist and linguist Donald Swann, who collaborated in writing and performing comic songs.
Flanders and Swann's songs are characterised by wit, gentle satire, complex rhyming schemes, and memorable choruses. They wrote over eighty comic songs together.
Between 1956 and 1967 they performed some of their songs in their long-running two-man revues At the Drop of a Hat and At the Drop of Another Hat.

[Verse 1]
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Monday morning, the Gas - man came to call,
C G A7 D D7
The gas tap wouldn't turn, I wasn't getting gas at all,
G G7 C G/B A7
He tore out all the skirting boards, to try and find the main,
C G/B A7 D7 G
And I had to call a carpenter to put them back a - gain,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
[Verse 2]
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Tuesday morning, the Carpen - ter came 'round,
C G A7 D D7
He hammered, and he chiselled, and he said, "Look what I've found!
G G7 C G/B A7
Your joists are full of dry - rot, but I'll put it all to rights!"
C G/B A7 D7 G
Then he nailed right through a cable, ...and out went all the lights,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
[Verse 3]
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Wednesday morning, the Elec - trician came,
C G A7 D D7
He called me Mr. Sanderson, which isn't quite my name,
G G7 C G/B A7
He couldn't reach the fusebox without standing on the bin,
C G/B A7 D7 G
And his foot went through a window, so I called a Glazier in,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
[Verse 4]
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Thursday morning, the Glazier came a - long,
C G A7 A9 A7 D7
With his blow torch, and his putty, and his merry...Glaz - iers...song,
G G7 C G/B A7
He put another pane in, it took no time at all,
C G/B A7 D7 G
But, I had to get a Painter in, to come and paint the wall,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G C D7
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do! | / / / / |
[Verse 5]
G D7 G D7 G
'Twas on a Friday morning, the Painter made a start,
C G A7 D D7
With undercoats, and over coats, he painted every part,
G G7 C G/B A7
Every nook, and every cranny, but I found when he was gone...
C G/B A7 D7 G
...He'd painted over the gas-tap, and I couldn't turn it on,
D D7 G D7 G C D7 G
Oh..., it all makes work for the working man to do!
[Coda]
D7 G G7 C G/B A7
On Saturday, and Sunday, they do no work at all...
C G A7 D7 G D7 G
So, 'twas on a Monday morning that the Gas-man came to call!
