Intro : B5


B5           F#5    B5
Oh you are a mucky kid,
           G5       F#5  B5
Dirty as a dustbin lid.
                  F#5         B5
When he hears the things you did,
       G5     F#5             B5
You'll get a belt from your Dad.


G5                B5
Oh you have your father's nose,
           F#5     B5        B5
So crimson in the dark it glows,
G5                             B5
If you're not asleep when the boozers close,
       G5     F#5             B5
You'll get a belt from your Dad.




B5                  F#5    B5
You look so scruffy lying dur
                    G5         F#5   B5
Strawberry-jam tarts in yer hair,
                        F#5        B5
Though in the world you haven't a care
    G5      F#5     B5
And I have got so many.


G5                     B5
It's quite a struggle every day
       F#5      B5        B5
Living on your father's pay,
G5                    B5
The bugger drinks it all away
      G5       F#5      B5
And leaves me without any.


B5 -> C5


C5                   G5       C5   
Although we have no silver spoon,
                Ab5     G5     C5
Better days are coming soon
                    G5      C5                    
Now Nelly's working at the Lune
    Ab5        G5       C5       
And she gets paid on Friday.


Ab5                    C5
Perhaps one day we'll have a splash,
            G5       C5        C5
When Littlewoods provide the cash,
Ab5                      C5
We'll get a house in Knotty Ash
    Ab5        G5     C5   
And buy your Dad a brewery.


C5 -> C#5


C#5          Ab5    C#5
Oh you are a mucky kid,
           A5       Ab5    C#5
Dirty as a dustbin lid.
                  Ab5         C#5
When he hears the things you did
       A5     Ab5             C#5
You'll get a belt from your Dad.



A5                 C#5
Oh you have your father's face,
               Ab5   C#5       C#5
You're growing up a real hard case,
A5                      C#5                       
But there's no one can take your place,
   A5       Ab5          C#5      
Go fast asleep for yer Mammy.
