Dear Sir I write this note to inform you of my plight

And at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight

My body is all black and blue, my face a deathly gray

I write this note to tell why Paddy's not at work today

 

While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear

And to throw them down from off the top seemed quite a good idea

But the gaffer wasn't very pleased, he was an awful sod

He said I had to cart them down the ladder in me hod.

 

Well clearing all those bricks by hand, it seemed so very slow

So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below

But in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to see

That a barrel full of building bricks is heavier than me.

 

So when I had untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead

And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead

I took off like a rocket and to my dismay I found

That half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down.

 

Well the barrel broke my shoulder as on to the ground it sped

And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head

I held on tight, though numb with shock from this almighty blow

And the barrel spilled out half its load fourteen floors below

 

Now when those building bricks fell from the barrel to the floor

I then outweighed the barrel so I started down once more

I held on tightly to the rope as I flew to the ground

And I landed on those building bricks that were scattered all

around.

 

Now as I lay there on the deck I thought I'd passed the worst

But when the barrel reached the top, that's when the bottom burst

A shower of bricks came down on me, I knew I had no hope

In all of this confusion, I let go the bloody rope.

 

The barrel being heavier, it started down once more

And landed right on top of me as I lay on the floor

It broke three ribs and my left arm, and I can only say

That I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today.
