Bejaysus, the thing wouldn’t start!
 

 

An’ they pushed and they shoved an’ they muttered

Till the engineers’ faces turned red

The designer, he stood looking stupid

An’ scratchin’ the top of his head

An’ when they were pushin’ and shoving

Up danders aul’ Jimmy Dalzell

He had worked 20 years on The Island

An’ 10 on the Aircraft as well.

An’ he pushed and he shoved an’ he jostled

Till he got himself up to the front

An’ he has a good look round the engines

An’ he gives a few mutters and grunts

An’ then he looks up at the Gaffer

An’ he says, ‘Mr Smith, do you know

They’ve left out the Diagonal Steam Trap…

How the hell did ye think it ‘ud go?’
