Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the soundtrack FriendsI work for the foundry for a penny and a half a dayLike a blind street musician I never see those who payIt's dirty work in BirminghamBetter deal for a Sheffield manIf he can rivet then his kids can buyCandy from the candy manAnd the van that comes around weekendsSelling fancy city thingsSold by the man with the trilby hatAnd the whiskers spread like wingsYou can hear him singOh you can hear him singCan I put you on, people can I put you onTell you that I love you peopleSing a salesman's song and put you onAnd a second cousin works in the pits in Newcastle on TyneAnd he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on his mindIt's dirty work in ManchesterBut the crew gets paid its geltBang on the bell on FridayYou buys a little something for yourselfAnd the van that comes around weekendsSelling fancy city thingsSold by the man in the trilby hatAnd the whiskers spread like wingsYou can hear him singOh you can hear him singCan I put you on, people can I put you onTell you that I love you peopleSing a salesman's song and put you on
