(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
Goodie-puddle-aah, goodie-puddle-aah, scoodie

(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
Puddle-dee-veet, concrete

First you get some gravel
Pour it in the vout
To mix a mess o’ mortar
You add cement and water
See the mellow-roony come out
Slurp, slurp, slurp

(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
Who wants a bucket of cement

(Instrumental Break)

First you get some gravel
Pour it in the vout
To mix a mess o’ mortar
You add cement and water
See the mellow-roony come out
Slurp, slurp, slurp

(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
(Cement mixer, put-ti, put-ti)
Who wants a bucket of cement
