Words to song

Nigel Naylor, he's a tailor
He makes trousers, suits and shirts
Penny Proctor, she's a doctor
Comes to see you when it hurts

Peter Palmer, he's a farmer
He's got cows and pigs and sheep
Wendy Witter, babysitter
Minds the kids when they're asleep

People work in the country
People work in the town
People work day and night
To make the world go round

Mabel Meacher, language teacher
Teaches English, French and Greek
Gary Gummer, he's a plumber
Call him when you've got a leak

Patty Prentice, she's a dentist
Keeps your teeth both clean and white
Ronnie Ryman, he's a fireman
Comes when there's a fire to fight

People work in the country
People work in the town
People work day and night
To make the world go round

People work in the country
People work in the town
People work day and night
To make the world go round

I like this song.I think it is a message to work if we want to live.We have to work everywhere is needed.We have to work in the country or in the town.
