She'd heard about poor and the way in which he died; "I I'll get my vengeance on that baker's man," she cried. For twenty years she back tears and taught her son to be The best refuse collector in the UDC...
called him Bernie...(Bernie)... And he the biggest dust cart in the west.
Now Bernie and his mother thought the time had come at To go and find that baker and confront him the past. They searched the village where he and knocked from door to door, And found he'd from twenty-two to number forty-four.
Then Bernie's mum "Hold it son, while we devise a plan. The first thing we must go and do is his baker's van." So Bernie towed it the road and pushed it in the river, Then smiled and thought "That's one round that baker won't deliver!"
was Bernie...(Bernie)... And he the biggest dustcart in the west.
raced back to his mother who was standing by Ted's gate, They shouting foul abuse, and didn't have long to wait. The front door slowly opened and old Ted came view, He looked up and down and said "Now who the hell are you?"
"You may well ask," said Bernie, "And now you're to know I'm the son of Ernie!" Ted staggered back, "Oh no! I can't believe it's true. That's rubbish!" he then said. "No, this is!" Bern cried, tipping his load on Ted's new bed.
They him Bernie...(Bernie)... And he drove the dust cart in the west.
Ted said "Well, I'm a widower now, nothing to my name, Except my daughter Lil," and from the house she came. Her hair was long, her eyes were blue, her smile was bright, And for Bern up on his dustcart he just knew love on sight.
Their eyes were together as she cried, "Please have a heart." Bernie said, "Of course I will, just jump up on the cart." And as they drove off hand in hand, mum went up to Ted, "Forget the past, join them!" So the four of them were wed.
All to Bernie...(Bernie)... And he drove the biggest dust in the west!
