James Brindley never had them singly,
always had a couple of dames,
The Duke of Bridgewater was chasing all their daughters,
And old John Rennie was the same
William Jessop always liked to dress up,
impress them with his dicky
And Michael Streat gave them all a treat -
"Have a ride on my big Ricky"

David Fletcher was a lecher with a proper working pair;
Leader Williams built a lift so he could do it in the air...

Richard Drake was a right old rake,
who plied them with bottles of gin
Thomas Telford’s sizzling in Hell for
his totally original sin
Alan Jervis gave them all a service
Aickman was a rare old charmer
And Laurence Hogg was a randy old dog
Who was worse than Michael Palmer.
But Richard Drake he was the greatest - how he did it we don’t know -
He had twenty thousand under him at eighteen pounds a go.
