The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing

Brunel

standing at the Thames at Rotherhithe
wondering how to get to the other side
when up pops this bloke in a stovepipe hat
says ' i'll do you a tunnel under that'

well, i looked him up and down
and then replied
'a lot of men tried
and a lot of men died!'

'yeah?...well i'm not ' a lot of men' '

so he built me a tunnel and he built it well
Isambard Kingdom Brunel

standing at Clifton gorge at high tide

and a lot of men died!'

'yeah?...well i'm not ' a lot of men' '

so he built me a bridge and he built it well
Isambard Kingdom Brunel

standing at Bristol docks at high tide
gazing out across the ocean wide
when up pops this bloke in a stovepipe hat
says ' i'll do you a steamship to cross that'

well, i looked him up and down
and then replied
'a lot of men tried
and a lot of men died!'

'yeah?...well i'm not ' a lot of men' '

so he built me a steamship and he built it well
Isambard Kingdom Brunel
