Yes, I lived near "that place in Wales" and yes, I can pronounce it! ^_^ |
Written while I was working as a cleaner in the big shop in the famous Anglesey tourist trap town of "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch" A Cleaner’s Lot (from “When a Felon’s not Engaged in his Employment”, Gilbert & Sullivan’s “Pirates of Penzance”) Oh, in any place that’s cause to give employment Dirt comes just as sure as darkness comes with night And so with a view to customer enjoyment A cleaner’s paid to keep it nice and bright The gloves and disinfectant she is bringing Deal with any messy job that must be done Though she keeps her mind off what she does by singing A cleaner’s lot is not a happy one Oh___, when there’s any job that’s messy to be done, to be done A cleaner’s lot is not a happy one (Happy one) Now the job that turns the gentle-stomached queasy Is the work that involves scrubbing the latrines And if anybody tells you that it easy You tell them they can tell that to the marines And the lavs are where a cleaner is most needed Though the work is smelly, long and not much fun When the signs she puts up simply are not headed A cleaner’s lot is not a happy one Oh___, when there’s any job that’s messy to be done, to be done A cleaner’s lot is not a happy one (Happy one) People come from London, Bangor, Perth and Shropshire Just to see the village with the funny name Parties wouldn’t come from ‘round the world to shop here If they found the place was mucky when they came So a cleaner here must work just like a Trojan For the tourists do not come here for the sun Fellow cleaners everywhere, we have a slogan “A cleaner’s lot is not a happy one” Oh___, when there’s any job that’s messy to be done, to be done A cleaner’s lot is not a happy one (Happy one) |
