Scuttle

It's an animal

It's a fox!

No it's not, it's a dog

What does it matter? Come on, we've got a job to do

Cutting poles for the railway line

There's no coal in the scuttle

Don't talk rubbish, did you look in the scuttle?

I was looking in the scuttle!

The coal scuttle?

The coal scuttle, that's what I said

But I didn't want to linger long

There was an animal scuttling about

What you talking about?

Scuttling about by the scuttle?

That's right, scuttling about by the scuttle!

What kind of animal?

It was a fox!

No it wasn't, it was more like a dog

What does it matter, come on, we've got a job to do

Cutting poles for the railway line
