Chorus 1:

G               C
 Snooker Loopy, nuts are we;
D7              G
 Me and him and them and me.
G                    C
 We'll show you what we can do,
       D7                  G
With a load of balls and a snooker cue.

G                   C
 Pot the reds then, skrew back,
        D7                          G
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black.
G               C           D7                      G
 Snooker Loopy, nuts are we; we're all snooker, loo-py.

Verse 1:

    G
Now ol' Milo, as we all know's,
    D7           G
Got loadsa dappa suits.
London bred and he keeps his head,
             D7          G
'Though he's got Italian roots.

  A
E-motional, but he keeps his cool,
E                     A
 'Till he reaches the finals.
    Bm
And whether he wins, or whether he don't,
   F#             Bm  D
"I always bite me eye-balls".

Verse 2:

    G
Now our friend Den; hours he spent,
D7                G
 Down the snooker hall.
On the old green baiz, his mates seem amazed,
       D7                    G
At his skills with a snooker ball.

    A
And them long shots, he never ever got,
E                  A
 Why? the old mind boggles.
     Bm
But nowadays, he pots the lot;
F#                 Bm  D
 "Cos I wear these gog-gles".

Chorus 2:

G               C
 Snooker Loopy, nuts are we;
D7              G
 Me and him and them and me.
G                    C
 We'll show you what we can do,
       D7                  G
With a load of balls and a snooker cue.

G                   C
 Pot the reds then, skrew back,
        D7                          G
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black.
G               C           D7                      G
 Snooker Loopy, nuts are we; we're all snooker, loo-py.

Verse 3:

    G
Now Terry the taff, was born in a gaff,
       D7                     G
In the valleys of the land of song.
And as the reds, he puts to bed,
   D7              G
He likes to sing a-long.

    A
And if I win, he says with a grin;
        E            A
"It can only help me can't it?"
     Bm
I'll celebrate; I'll buy another eight,
      F#m             Bm  D
"Hair-brushes, for me bar-net".

Verse 4:

    G
Now old Willy Thorne; his hair's all gone,
        D7                 G
And his mates all take the rise.
His opponent said; "cover up his head,
          D7            G
'Cos it's shining in my eyes".

         A
When the light shines down, on his bare crown,
       E                A
It's a cert, he's gonna walk it,
     Bm
It's just not fair giving off that glare;
     F#m             Bm    D
"Per-haps I ought to chalk it".

Chorus 3:

G               C

Verse 5:

    G
Now Steve last year, come very near,
   D7                  G
To winning the snooker crown.
But he never got to put it on his ginger nut,
         D7                     G
'Cos the black ball wouldn't go down.

    A
His manager of all, said; "Sod that ball",
       E                   A
But it helped him make his mind up.
    Bm
Now he don't care who wins this year;
           F#m                Bm     D
"'Cos he's got the rest of us signed up".
