My father`s a lavatory cleaner
he works in the sewers by night
and when he comes home in the morning,
he`s always covered in sh.........

...ine your buttons with Brasso
it`s only three ha`pence a tin
buy it or nick it from Woolworths
it`s always full up to the brim

Used to sing that ditty as a lad, no idea where it comes from

And in spring they sometime shear them (leaving a cute little landing strip....)
