Just down the street at Number Four We've got a cove named Jacky Shaw He'll cane a chair or mend a can He's what we call our 'Andy man He'll iron a shirt or heel a boot He's simply marv'lous as a mute At will he'll smile or shed a tear And as regards a-shiftin' beer, Chorus: Well, he's our 'Andy man and very, very clever too There ain't a favour he can't grant but what he will endeavour to He'd build a row of 'ouses if you draw'd him out a plan Jack Shaw of Number Four, he's our 'Andy man. He's quite a father in his way, He proved it too the other day 'Cause Jones was ill and couldn't go, Jack took his missis for a blow Jones sold the home for fifteen quids, Turned out his wife and seven kids Though grieved to, hear the awful news, Jack jumped into old Jones' shoes Chorus: He's simply great at mending drains Or putting in your window panes At fighting too, well, he's immense, He'd kill a man for eighteen pence He'll clean your mats and shake you rugs, Whitewash your rooms and blind your bugs In P'lice-court jobs no end he's worth For he's the biggest liar on earth Chorus: Last year he bought a sitting hen, Which he arranged to bring off ten But through a lodger on our flat, His hen got killed by her tom cat And rather than he'd waste the eggs He stuck some feathers on his legs Jumped in the nest, his usual luck, He hatched nine chicks and one young duck.
