365 Days

365 Days
Performer(s): Rolf Harris



A man went to his boss one day
Said, "I apologize
For bothering you like this, sir
And perhaps it isn't wise
But the wife is always on at me to ask for
To ask for a rise"

The boss said
"That's no problem son, come in and take a pew
And we'll figure it out together
Just exactly what you do
And in accordance to the work you do for us, lad
You'll get what is due"

"Now, there's three hundred and sixty-five days in the year
I'll write that at the top," he said
"Oh, this year's a leap year, I almost forgot
That's three hundred and sixty-six instead"

"You work eight hours a day for us
That's eight out of twenty-four, that's one-third of a day you do
And a third of three hundred and sixty-six
Is one hundred and twenty-two"

"Now you don't work Sundays, and there's fifty-two in a year"
Hmmmmmm, "I take that away from this number we've got
From that one hundred and twenty-two days
That leaves seventy days, is that clear?"

"And you don't work Saturdays, and there's fifty-two of them
That leaves eighteen days overall
You take away four bank holidays . . .
And two weeks annual leave . . . .
You Don't Work For Us At All!"
