Then he n^Failed right through a c^Cable, ...and ^Gout went all the ^Clights, ^COh..., it all makes work for the wor^Fking man to ^Cdo!

'Twas ^Con a Wednesday morning, t^Ghe Elec - trician c^Came, He ca^Flled me Mr. Sa^Cnderson, which i^Gsn't quite my n^Came, He cou^Cldn't reach the fusebox without sta^Fnding^C on the ^Gbin, And his f^Foot went through a w^Cindow, so I ca^Glled a Glazier ^Cin, ^COh..., it all makes work for the wor^Fking man to ^Cdo!
