The Gas Tap Won't Turn - !!!NEW!!!

After all the fun I had creating a Cabin Pressure version of 'There's a Hole in my Bucket' I decided to do it again this time using a classic comedy song by the classic comedy songsters - Flanders and Swann

(Ok - so I cheated a bit here using the Aussie term for an electrician but you've got to admit it scans better. And they did tour in Oz.)
