Noel Murphy - Murphy and the Bricks (Pat Cooksey)


This is Noel Murphys version of a very funny song written by Pat Cooksey and first sung in the Dyer's Arms, in Coventry England. It's real name is 'The Sick Note', and came from an original joke from Gerard Hoffnung back in the 1950s. I has been released by many artists and under many titles including: WHY PADDY'S NOT AT WORK TODAY THE BRICKLAYERS SONG DEAR BOSS PADDY AND THE BARRELL MURPHY AND THE BRICKS The above song under all alternative titles has always been and remains the sole copyright of the original writer, PAT COOKSEY. This version is posted on YouTube with the kind permission of Pat Cooksey. If you would like to see the lyrics or to learn more about it, then you may visit Pat Cookseys website at: http://www.patcooksey.com/lyri...

I have heard an earlier spoken prose version related by Gerard Hoffnung, but I think the origin of the story is lost in the mists of time,
