  • Can I Put You On by Elton John Lyrics



    I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day
    Like a blind street musician I never see those who pay
    It's dirty work in Birmingham
    Better deal for a Sheffield man
    If he can rivet then his kids can buy
    Candy from the candy man

    And the van that comes around weekends
    Selling fancy city things
    Sold by the man with the trilby hat
    And the whiskers spread like wings
    You can hear him sing
    Oh you can hear him sing
    Can I put you on, people can I put you on
    Tell you that I love you people
    Sing a salesman's song and put you on

    And a second cousin works in the pits in Newcastle on Tyne
    And he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on his mind
    It's dirty work in Manchester
    But the crew gets paid its gelt
    Bang on the bell on Friday
    You buys a little something for yourself

    And the van that comes around weekends
    Selling fancy city things
    Sold by the man in the trilby hat
    And the whiskers spread like wings
    You can hear him sing
    Oh you can hear him sing
    Can I put you on, people can I put you on
    Tell you that I love you people
    Sing a salesman's song and put you on
