Are The Bin Men Comin’?


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

(Richie)…. “Johnny, did ye put out the bin?”

(Johnny)…. “I did ya, I did”

Get your little wheelie bin. 
An’ put all of your rubbish in. 
Ye better hurry don’t be late. 
They’ll soon be outside of your gate.

Chorus

Are the bin men coming, are the bin men coming.
It’s the cry of every woman, will the bin men come today.
They’ll be looking for your wheelie bin, they’ll looking for your wheelie bin. 
You’d better hurry, don’t be late, they’ll soon be outside of your gate.

Every Thursday, they’re on time, whether it be wet or fine.
They’re the men to shift your bin, no matter what you put there in.
They always have a big hello, even if ye they don’t know.
Charlie wears his hair so long, but the drivers hair is long since gone.

Chorus

Are the bin men coming, are the bin men coming.
It’s the cry of every woman, will the bin men come today.
They’ll be looking for your wheelie bin, they’ll be looking for your wheelie bin. 
You’d better hurry, don’t be late, they’ll soon be outside of your gate.

So ye wheel your bin back in again. 
Next week ye’ll fill it to the brim.
Where does the rubbish all come from? 
Will it still be here, when we’re long gone?

Chorus

Are the bin men coming, are the bin men coming.
It’s the cry of every woman, will the bin men come today.
They’ll be looking for your wheelie bin, they’ll be looking for your wheelie bin. 
You’d better hurry, don’t be late, they’ll soon be outside of your gate.
