Plumbers and Jiners Chords

[Intro]
G  G  D  G
 
[Verse 1]
G                  C
Days long passing, and long forgot
       G                   D
when a public kludge was a penny in a slot
G              C
ten-pence now, that price goes
       G       G          D           G
for a pee or a fart or to powder your nose
 
[Verse 2]
        G                      C
so when Josey saw the door was open wide
G                D
left no time and nipped inside
G                     C
squeezed and pressed, hard as could be
    G           G         D      G
and she did her best cos’ it was free
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
How they tittered, how they chaffed
   G                          D
Oh how all the plumbers & the jiners laughed
G               C
when they saw a young girl jammed
       G           G         D        G
like a plug in the seat o’ a lavatory pan!
 
[Verse 3]
    G                      C
now Josey sat there for an hour or two
    G                       D
she did all the things that women do
        G                  C
but the seat was varnished just her luck
     G   D       G       D        G
like gum tae her bum the seat was stuck
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
How they tittered, how they chaffed
   G                          D
Oh how all the plumbers & the jiners laughed
G               C
when they saw a young girl jammed
       G           G         D        G
like a plug in the seat o’ a lavatory pan!
 
 
[Verse 4]
        G                        C
so they sent for a plumber and a jiner too
    G                            D
the plumber he plumbed while the jiner screwed
    G                       C
but they burst her flusher, she gave a gasp
       G     D     G   D          G
as the water built up around her… knees!
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
How they tittered, how they chaffed
   G                          D
Oh how all the plumbers & the jiners laughed
G               C
when they saw a young girl jammed
       G           G         D        G
like a plug in the seat o’ a lavatory pan!
 
[Verse 5]
       G                            C
well a great crowd gathered as they carried her by
G                              D
face-down on the stretcher and arse to the sky
G                             C
“I never saw the likes!”, one woman exclaimed
G                  G                  D          G
“I have”, said her husband, “but it’s never been framed!”
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
How they tittered, how they chaffed
   G                          D
Oh how all the plumbers & the jiners laughed
G               C
when they saw a young girl jammed
       G           G         D        G
like a plug in the seat o’ a lavatory pan!
