I was a drain surgeon
If a spark is an electrician and a brickie is a bricklayer, Sean wonders, what’s a plumber?
"If a spark is an electrician, a chippie is a carpenter, and a brickie is a bricklayer,” Sean says, “what’s the popular name for a plumber?"
“Hey Sean!” says Paddy the Da. “Two of my sons are carpenters over here in Canada. They do the same work as joiners, and also scaffolding. And the name for a plumber is a Drain Surgeon.”
“Plumbers are called leakies!” says Mickey in Galliagh.
With music from Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Roger Miller, and more.
