Getting woken up by the binmen
It’s hard to get back to sleep again
Then there’s the sound of the kids again
I’m going out of my mind again
Now it’s time to get up and get on
First I put the radio on
Down to the kitchen I put the toast on
Eating my breakfast singing a song
All in a day, all in a day
There’s a lot to fit in every day
I have a shower and comb my hair
Look in the mirror and back I stare
Go to the Ladder, see the lasses and lads
This day hasn’t turned out so bad
Having a coffee, chatting away
Discussing major topics of the day
This is the place I like to be
Not sat in the house watching boring T.V.
All in a day, all in a day
There’s a lot to fit in every day
Off to the allotment in the afternoon sun
I’ll be here until the day is done
Watering the plants, planting seeds
Picking tomatoes and digging the weeds
Give my neighbor a nod, whilst turning the sod
Soon I’ll be back in the land of nod
A satisfying way to spend my day
Giving my time and my veg away
It’s all in a day, all in a day
I’ve fitted quite a lot in today
All in a day, all in a day
There’s a lot to fit in every day
All in a day, all in a day
All in a day, all in a day
