The old man in the flat below me had a Hoover
What made a loud din,
It sounded like someone with a hammer was
banging on a battered old tin.
Now he has left and a lady has taken over
The flat is as nice and pleasant as can be,
I went down to her flat and introduced myself
And she invited me to stay for my tea.

She does not use electrical appliances,
When she cleans all is so quiet and hush,
I now feel a lot better
for I'm now living over the brush.
