[Verse 1]
A D A
The rain is falling on the site, the tea's upon the brew,
A D E
We're sittin' on our arseholes with bugger-all to do.
D A E
Outside our picks and shovels lads, they slowly rust away.
A D E A
We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day.
[Chorus 1]
A D A
Four pounds a day my lads and nothing much to do,
A D E
No trouble from the foreman he's in the union too.
D A E
Some want the rain to go to Spain we want the rain to stay.
A D E A
We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day.
[Verse 2]
A D A
It's early in the morning, we start at ten o'clock,
A D E
We search the skies impatiently, Bejays! I felt a drop.
D A E
The can lads are on bonus and each brew means better pay.
A D E A
We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day.
[Chorus 2]
A D A
Four pounds a day my lads and nothing much to do,
A D E
No trouble from the foreman he's in the union too.
D A E
Some want the rain to go to Spain we want the rain to stay,
A D E A
We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day.
[Verse 3]
A D A
So Freddie get the cards out, the racing page as well,
A D E
And as for the contractors we hope they go to hell.
D A E
It looks as if the rain's set in, we shan't do much today.
A D E A
What matter if on Friday we all draw our pay.
[Chorus 3]
A D A
Four pounds a day my lads and nothing much to do,
A D E
No trouble from the foreman he's in the union too.
D A E
Some want the rain to go to Spain we want the rain to stay.
A D E A
We're rained off and contented on four pounds a day.
