No. 2: The Solicitors Song — Up a Little Early

Midi Symbol MIDI File [8KB, 1' 21" sequenced by Jim Farron]


Pennyfather:
  Up a little early, take a little tub,
Make a little splutter, do a little rub;
    Have a little breakfast, make a little fuss.
All arrangements make fast, Catch a little bus.
  In a little chamber, up a little stair,
When the clients clamber, they always find me there.
    That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee
Making money, storing honey by my industree
      That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee.
Storing honey, making money by my industree!
 
  Coming in at ten oclock, going out at four
(Sometimes rather later, never much before)
    Hearing little cases, taking little fees,
Finding out my clients imperfections by degrees; .
  Doing little dodges on an clever little plan.
Using opportunities like any other man.
    That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee
Making money, storing honey by my industree
      That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee.
Storing honey, making money by my industree!
