Can I Put You On
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day
Like a blind street
musician I never see those who pay
It's dirty work in Birmingham
Better
deal for a Sheffield man
If he can rivet then his kids can buy
Candy from
the candy man
Chorus
And the van that comes around weekends
Selling fancy
city things
Sold by the man with the trilby hat
And the whiskers spread
like wings
You can hear him sing
Oh you can hear him sing
Can I put you
on, people can I put you on
Tell you that I love you people
Sing a
salesman's song and put you on
And a second cousin works in the pits in
Newcastle on Tyne
And he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on
his mind
It's the hardest work in Manchester
But the crew gets paid its
gelt
Bang on the bell on Friday
You buy a little something for
yourself
Chorus twice
People can I put you on
(Repeat until fade)
