Lonnie Donegan sang this song, the first verse of which is:
- Oh, my old man's a dustman
- He wears a dustman's hat
- He wears cor-blimey trousers
- And he lives in a Council flat
- He looks a proper nana
- In his great big hobnail boots
- He has such a job to pull 'em up
- That he calls 'em daisy roots
