Songs about Buliders, Building etc

[Downton Mini]

Hi

Please don't think I've completely lost it but I am looking for songs about Builders, Building etc. My brother and myself take part in a charity event every August bank holiday every year and every year we dress up ion fancy dress and also decorate the Mini to match the theme (as do most of the other people on the event were not the only ones who are mad) this year our theme is builders and we want some music to play while travelling along the route.

Has anyone got any ideas

Many thanks in adavance

Mark

Not strictly about builders, but what they do best - drinking tea

Brilliant I've been trying to think what that song was called thnak you

[crofty1984]

Seconded on Right Said Fred.
Quite the tale of derring-do!
From what I understand, even after removing the fings wot old the candles, they were still unable to meet the project objectives and had to investigate alternative solutions.

ETA Doh! In your list already, I blame the 6 sigma training in which I responded

Housemartins - Build

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXoeM7myXCI

Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down

From Meccano to Legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
It's build

It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

Whistling men in yellow vans
They came and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt

Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
It's wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
It's build

It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

It's build

Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
It's in with suits and new recruits
It's build

[Downton Mini]

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys keep them coming
