People Work

Nigel Nailor, 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.
