don't forget your shovel

or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us

diggin'. and don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all

don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all

mr murphy's afraid you'll make a claim if you take a fall

and we want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes

we want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes

yeah we want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes

well there's one thing you can say. we know where we are goin'

and if you want to do it. don't you do it against the wall

never seen a toilet on a building site at all

there's a shed up in the corner where they won't see you at all

enoch powell will give us a job

diggin' our way to annascaul

enoch powell will give us a job

diggin' our way to annascaul

enoch powell will give us a job

diggin' our way to annascaul

and when we're finished diggin' there they'll close the hole and all

over there in london all trying to dig their way back to annascaul

and very few of them boys is going to get back at all
