To our house on a Friday

A man calls every week

We give him a pound

When he calls on his round

To our house on a Friday

A man calls every week

We give and we get

And we're always in debt

In his van he carries all we're needing

With his plan most anything is ours

He's the tallyman

Oh , yeah , he's the tallyman

Shoes and socks hard wearing for the children

Frilly frocks all in the latest style

From the tallyman

Oh , yeah , from the tallyman

To our house on a Friday

A man calls every week

We've made him a friend

So he's here to the end

From cradle to grave

We're expected to save

He's here to the end

So we've made him a friend

He's here to the end

So we've made him a friend
