Original content: "Now one day whilst in a hurry, He missed a lady's bin: He hadn't gone but a few yards When she chased after him. "What game do you think you're playing?" She cried right from the 'eart, "You've missed me, am I too late?" "No, jump up on the cart!"

Oi! My old man's a dustman, He wears a dustman's hat, He wears cor-blimey trousers And he lives in a council flat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Niteowlneils (talkcontribs) 13 May 2004

Song title redirect

edit

Why does My Old Man's a Dustman redirect here? Is it an alternative title? Rmhermen 20:35, May 13, 2004 (UTC)

I expect it's because this is the album on which it appears (and possibly the one on which it first appeared). --Lawikitejana 02:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I can say it's definitely NOT true that this is where the song first appears, considering my parents used to sing it as children (they are now in their 60s) and it is a traditional cockney song. 82.3.50.60 (talk) 13:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

The link to My Old Man's a Dustman appears to be broken. Can someone fix? 91.84.13.71 20:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Lonnie Donegan's cd album from 1999. Does anyone know of a LP version of this? Dave Waller

Dave Waller: I have a German double album of same name, released 1970. It has three more tracks than the CD. PhilR —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phlopp (talkcontribs) 13:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
