Harry the roofer Is roofing no more He lost his balance And nearly fell to floor . The ladder it seemed To to go higher and higher A voice in his head Said its time to retire . Fifty years he worked on heights Climing large houses And on building sights . But now at the age of sixty five He's done all he can And he still does survive . Harry the roofer will find it hard With all that time on his hands Away from folk back at the yard . Harry says goodbye to his friends The ones he has known for many years All there best wishes too him they do send.. Harry the roofer will reap what he's sown His house is now paid for And the children have grown . Yes Harry known as a haŕd working man He now takes it easy spends time at home He has bought a new car and sold his van.
