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

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.

I heard this yesterday, on the Terry Wogan Show, while driving on the M6. Picture the scene - driving down the M6 with tears of laughter streaming down my face and trying hard not to have an accident - either the automobile or the other kind! Too funny
