This is true my flat was renovated last year chaos ensued.

My cooker's in the living room My fridge is in there too There's dust on all my furniture And I cant use my loo There's workmen tramping in and out I'm not allowed to lock my door The workmen must have access From 8 am till four They're drilling in my bathroom I cant hear my TV I just wish they'd go away Cos I really need a wee The workmen don't speak English And my Polish isn't great I tried a conversation But we just cant relate I'll be glad when it's all finished And my home's my home again If this goes on much longer I think I'll go insane I'm longing for a shower I haven't had one for weeks But I bet when it's finished It will be full of leaks They tell me when it's finished I'll be pleased as pleased can be All that I can say to that is Oh well we'll see I think that I'll go out now Leave these cowboys on the range I hate all this disruption I really don't like change
