In a very large factory I belong 
And I work the night shift all year long 
Old Freddy on a chainsaw lost his feet 
Thinking 'bout a blonde he'll never meet 
Tried to take his life again the other week 
Keep your chin up, haven't a care 'ave you? 
Just join the party, allegiance I swear 

Eee what's the matter with Arthur Royal? 
I'll go and top up his batteries and check the oil 
Young Arthur blew a fuse two days ago, 
Set himself alight, you didn't know 
Nearly burnt us down the twit just had to go 
Take your chances, live on hot air (wouldn't you?) 
Chance of promotion, I'll take that chair 

Dreaming of golden sands and palm trees 
I said file these quickly and then staple these 
Get yourself altered undo the seam, and get back just 
In time for tea (and don't be late mind) 

Nobody's perfect least of all me 
Married the job at age 23 
Just keep my nose clean egg chips and beans 
I'm always full of steam 

...I could never afford to go to Butlins 
...But I did manage to go to Majorca once 
...Wish I hadn't bothered... 
...Past the entrance, by I bored myself
...Who are all these people in my office, anyway?
...Who are they? Where do they come from, do why'know them?
