C5                                                A5

Dad's gone down the dogtrack, Mother's playin' bingo

D5                                                         G5

Grandad's swearin' at the telly, tryin' to make the thing go

C5                                      A5

No one seems to notice me, isn't it a sin

       D5                  G5      D5

What a crazy world we're livin' in


Now, the old man never talks to me, and when he does,

it's moan Wash your face, it looks a disgrace, oh, what an 'appy 'ome

He says I'm irresponsible, not like when he was young

Then he puts on his cap and coat to watch the greyhounds run


Oh, Dad's gone down the dogtrack, Mother's playin' bingo

Grannie's boozin' in the parlour, hic, you oughta see the gin go

No one seems to notice me, isn't it a sin

What a crazy world we're livin' in


Brown bread!


Brown bread!


Mother say's I look a yob, me trousis are too tight

She says I ought to get a job and not stay out all night

She doesn't like my haircut, she says me friends are lousy

And then she says "It's gettin' late, can't miss me ousey-ousey"


Oh, Dad's gone down the dogtrack, Mother's playin' bingo

Sister's smoochin' on the sofa, you oughta hear their lingo *

No one seems to notice me, isn't it a sin

What a crazy world we're livin' in Yay!


Law caught me out thievin', took me down the nick

The sergeant made out his report, and he layed it on real thick

He said "I'll get your parents", I answered with a grin

"Save yourself the trouble, mate, you'll never find 'em in"


Key change

        D5                                             B5

'Cause Dad's gone down the dogtrack, Mother's playin' bingo

    E5                                       A5

Me brothers are all layabouts, all alike by jingo

D5                                      B5

No one seems to notice me, isn't it a sin

E5                            A5     D5  B5  E5                         A5     D5

What a crazy world we're livin' in Yeah, what a crazy world we're livin' in

B5    E5                   A5    D5                         B5

What a crazy world we're livin' Three, four, knock at the door

        E5                A5     D5

What a crazy world we're livin' in
