Karaoke Track: Murphy And The Bricks by Noel Murphy (Sunfly)

Dear Sir

I write this note to you
to tell you of me plight

Me body is all

black and blue
me face a deathly grey

And I write this note

to say why Murphy&#39;s
not at work todayr

While working
on the fourteenth floor

some bricks
I had to clear

But to toss &#39;em down

from such a height
was not a good idea

The foreman wasn&#39;t

very pleased
he is an awkward sew

Now shifting all those

bricks by hand
it was so very slow

So I hoisted up

a barrel and
secured the rope below

But in me haste

to do the job
I was too blind to see

That a barrel full of

building bricks
was heavier than me

And so when I

un edtherope
the barrel fell like lead

And clinging tightly

to the rope
I started up instead

I shot off like a rocket

till to my dismay
lfound

That half way up

I met the h969mm
barrel coming down

Now the barrel

broke me shoulder
as to the ground it sped

I clung on tightly

numb with shock
from this almighty blow

And the barrel
spilled out half the bricks

from fourteen floors
below

Now when these
bricks had fallen

from the barrel
to the floor

I then outweighed
the barrel

and so started
down once more

And half way down

I met the b9696999698 barrel
once again

Now the force
of this collision

half way down
the office block

Caused multiple abrasions

and a nasty state of shock

Still clinging tightly

to the rope
I fell towards the ground

And I landed
on the broken bricks

the barrel had
scattered round

I lay there groaning
on the ground

I thought I&#39;d past
the worst

But the barrel

hit the pulley wheel
and then the bottom burst

A shower of bricks

rained down on me
I didn&#39;t have a hope

As I lay there bleeding

on the ground
I let go of the mew rope

The barrel then
grew heavier

it started down
once more

And it landed
right across me

as I lay there
on the floor

It broke three ribs

and my left arm
and I can only sayr

I hope you&#39;ll understand

why Murphy&#39;s
not at work today
