    I now repair all motor cars,
    Char-a-bancs, and aeroplanes,
    Push-bikes, prams, and go-cars,
    And great big railway trains.
    I repair all farm implements,
    I wish to make it clear.
    That if I was a blacksmith once.
    I'm now an Engineer.

    So to conclude and finish up,
    I have to end my song.
    I hope you will excuse me,
    For keeping you so long.
    Some customers are waiting,
    And I can no longer stop.
    But if you want a job well done,
    Call in to 'Mick the Cock'.
