Mr Riley of Higginbottom & Clive - The Easybeats

Mr Riley

Mr Riley

Mr Riley

Mr Riley

Mr Riley sweeps the floor at Higginbottom &Clive

Sure to meet a guy like him somewhere while you are alive

(Ooh…) Goes to work at eight and starts at two

(Ahh…) All that time reads papers in the loo

(Sha-la, sha-la, la…) Has a crush on Miss Breen of the first aid room

Never out of day was from his broom

Mr Riley smallest in the land

Let me shake you by the hand

Mr Riley older than the walls

Come to work and man that’s all

Mr Riley had a go and Higginbottom one day

That old Higgy raged and told our old friend to get his pay

Strike, strike!

(Ooh…) We all called as one

(Ahh…) Management and justice they had done

(Sha-la, sha-la, la…) Reinstated Riley sweeping with his broom

Working with Miss Breen in the first aid room

Mr Riley smallest in the land

Let me shake you by the hand

Mr Riley older than the walls

Come to work and man that’s all

Mr Riley lived so long he died

Near and far’est one we cried

Now I bet he’s loping up on high

Chasing lady angels through the sky

(Mr Riley, Mr Riley) Mr Riley smallest in the sky

(Mr Riley, Mr Riley) Working for the men of high

(Mr Riley, Mr Riley…) Mr Riley smallest in the sky

(Mr Riley, Mr Riley…) Working for the men of high

(Mr Riley, Mr Riley…) Mr Riley smallest in the sky

(Mr Riley, Mr Riley…) Working for the men of high

(Mr Riley, Mr Riley…) Mr Riley smallest in the sky…
