the last milkman

The milkman sets off as the sun starts to rise

He has a lot to do that’s no big surprise

With his cart all shinny from the day before

He knows it’s his job to go door to door

But more and more people do not want it any more

They go to the supermarkets with their big shinny floor

They buy it in plastic bottles all ugly and tall

Not the glass ones no more for these hold a lot more

So his round gets shorter day by day

He still tries to make jolly but he sad when he see his pay

It’s no good he tells his wife, my dad was a milkman all his life

However, i cannot live this way no more

That’s the last of the milk i will do door to door.
