suddenly remembered this masterpiece after 14 years, it is still great.

This is the song I was listening to the whole morning when I called in sick for the first time at my first job back in 2014. Beautiful memories

Love it ❤if 0nly we were all so grateful for wisdom and knowledge 😂😂

I know the song is MEANT to be funny...somehow but the tune gives it a sort of sad feel to it

Not heard this version before

Lovely 😍

It's also interesting as it actually DOES have music (most people do it a Capella).

Forman:... You're still coming in to work though, right?

Can I use this as a Zoom background for a performance? Beautifully done

The Sick Note (Why Paddy's Not At Work Today) Dear sir, I write this note to you, to tell you of me plight And at the time of writing, I am not a pretty sight My body is all black and blue, me face a deathly gray And I write this note to say why Paddy's not at work, today [Verse 2] While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear Now, to throw them down from such a height, it was not a good idear The foreman wasn't very pleased, he being an awkward sod He said I'd have to take them down the ladders in me hod [Verse 3] Now clearing all these bricks by hand, it was so very slow So I hoisted up a barrel, and secured the rope below But in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to see That a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me [Verse 4] And so when I untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead Well, I shot up like a rocket, 'til to my dismay I found That half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down [Verse 5] Well the barrel broke me shoulder, as to the ground it sped And when I reached the top, I banged the pulley with me head Well, I clung on tight, though numbed with shock, from this almighty blow And the barrel spilled out half the bricks, fourteen floors below [Verse 6] Now, when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor I then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more Still clinging tightly to the rope, I sped towards the ground And I landed on the broken bricks the barrel scattered round [Verse 7] I lay there groaning on the ground I thought I'd passed the worst When the barrel hit the pulley wheel, and then the bottom burst Well, a shower of bricks rained down on me, I hadn't got a hope As I lay there bleeding on the ground, I let go the bloody rope [Verse 8] The barrel then being heavier, it started down once more And landed right across me as I lay upon the floor Well, it broke three ribs, and my left arm, and I can only say That I hope you understand, why Paddy's not at work today

I have no idea how I got here but it is now my favourite UA-cam video

A work of genius

Mythbusters tested this with their crash test dummy and it played out exactly like the song. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

The song was written by Mr. Pat Cooksey

i'm gonna use this for when i call in sick

Loved this😂😂

Ayyy the vid is good work lad

I don't think that him

I enjoyed seeing the visualization of this hysterical song. The poor chap really got a raw deal from all these legos!

nice job👍🏻

Ha

This is a family tradition lol

This film was sponsored by OSHA

What a riot to see one of my favorite songs animated with legos!! Completely random find, I absolutely loved it. 😂😂😂 (I would love it if you did this to the other version of the song as well)

Your lego stop motion illustration must become unesco world heritage !!!

Officially Deppressed.

Perfect video for the song. nice job!

Love it my grandpa showed me thos

This is a great illustration of the song. Nice work

Brilliant!

Used to be a builder this made me laugh so much 😂

I work in construction and I show this video to all new guys on their first day 😂😂

This has been a public information film brought to you by the Health & Safety Executive.

Ouch

This version of the song misses the essence of the song. Good video though!

Try listening to the original (spoken version) by Gerard Hoffnung. This is good, but Hoffnung is just hilarious.

A guy from Germany made a parody to this, its called Fränkische Krankmeldung

Paddy ain't at work cos Yuri and miroslav have their jobs

Was that actually Cooksey's original version?

This is why 'mental health days' are so much better!

That was awesome !!!! Nice job !

So clever! Thank you, I got a really big laugh from that.

I love this but don't like the version of the song

My Dad used to play this on the guitar for my brother and I as kids. Thanks for sharing this.

Best version ever!

My dad used to play this all the time 😂

Well I've heard this song a many a times before But your movie with it had me rolling on the floor

My dad used to play this in the car when we were kids....we loved it LOL!!

This song sure made a big smile on my face as I drink my coffee preparing for my own work day. Thanks for the share.
