P to G The Plumbing Song - Herman Bennet

When I was just a youngster
Do Do.
A good time lovin’ funster
Do Do.
This is what my daddy said to me.
What he say?
He said, “Now get up off your rear”
Uh Huh!
“Pay attention and you’ll hear”
Uh Huh!
“How to be a success from P to G.”
And he said, “Plumbin’ that’s what’s commin’
Everybody’s pipes, lawd, they got to be a runnin’
If you’ll look I’ll think you’ll see”
Uh Huh!
“The way things always be”
Uh Huh!
“You ought to be a plumber just like me.”
As I was getting older,
Do Do Do,
Daddy socked me on the shoulder
Do Do Do,
This is what my daddy said to me.
What he say?
He said, “I think you’re in a rut”
Uh Huh!
“Now get up off your butt”
Uh Huh!
“And I’ll tell you about the capital P.”
He said, “Plumbin’ that’s what’s commin’”
Everybody’s pipes, lawd, they got to be a runnin’
Son don’t ever work for free.”
Uh Huh!
“Do your job.
Collect your fee”
Uh Huh!
“You ought to be a plumber just like me.”
A graduate from college
Do Do Do,
Accumlated knowledge
Router Rooter
This is what my Daddy said to me,
What he say?
He said, “Now get your ass in gear”
Uh Huh!
“Don’t waste another year”
Uh Huh!
“And throw away that college degree.”
He said, “Plumbin,’ son, that’s what’s commin’
Everybody’s pipes, lawd, they got to be a runnin’
When your child is on your knee”
Uh Huh!
“Tell him how it must be”
Uh Huh!
“He ought to be a plumber just like me
And like your grandpa.
He ought to be a plumber just like me
And join the union
He ought to be a plumber just like me.”
