   G                                             F
I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day
         C                      G
Like a blind street musician I never see those who pay
      Am            C
It's dirty work in Birmingham
Better deal for a Sheffield man
           G                      Am
If he can rivet then his kids can buy
C                     F C G
Candy from the candy man

Chorus:
              F                 C 
And the van that comes around weekends
         F            C 
Selling fancy city things
 F                          C 
Sold by the man with the trilby hat
          F                   C 
And the whiskers spread like wings
                 Am7
You can hear him sing
                     D
Oh you can hear him sing

Chorus:
               G     G                 C
Can I put you on, people can I put you on
D                         G
Tell you that I love you people
                   C               F C G
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 dirty work in Manchester but the crew gets paid its gelt
Bang on the bell on Friday
You buys a little something for yourself

And the van that comes around weekends selling fancy city things
Sold by the man in the trilby hat and the whiskers spread like wings
You can hear him sing
Oh, you can hear him sing

Chorus:
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 the van that comes around weekends selling fancy city things
Sold by the man in the trilby hat and the whiskers spread like wings
You can hear him sing
Oh, you can hear him sing

Chorus:
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

(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)

(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, people, can I put you on?)
