[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh, you are a mu[E]cky kid[Am]
Dirty as a [F]dustbin [E]lid
[Am]When he hears the [E]things that you [Am]did
You'll get [E]a belt [Am]from yer da

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Oh, you have your [Am]father's nose
So crimson [E]in [Am]the dark [A]it glows
[Dm]If you're not asleep when the
[Am]boozers close
You'll get a [E]belt from yer [Am]da

[Verse 3]
[E]You look so scruffy lying [Am]there
Strawberry jam [F]tarts in [E]your hair
[Am]In all the world you h[E]aven't a car[Am]e
And I [E]have got so [Am]many

[Verse 4]
[Dm]It's quite [Am]a struggle every day
Livin' [E]on [Am]yer father[A]'s pay
[Dm]The beggar drinks it a[Am]ll away
And leaves me [E]without [Am]any
[Bbm]

[Verse 5]
Although you [F]have no silver [Bbm]spoon
Better days are com[F#]ing s[F]oon
[Bbm]Our Nelly's workin[F]g at the loom[Bbm]
[F#]And she gets [F]paid on [Bbm]Friday

[Verse 6]
Per[Ebm]haps one day we'll
[Bbm]have a splash
When Little[F]woods [Bbm]provide [Bb]the cash
[Ebm]We'll get a house in [Bbm]Knotty Ash
And [F#]buy [F#dim]yer da a b[F]re[Bbm]wery
[Bm]

[Verse 7]
Oh, you [F#]are a mucky [Bm]kid
Dirty as a [G]dustbin [F#]lid[Bm]
When he hears [F#]the things [Bm]that you did
You'll [G]get [F#]a belt [Bm]from yer da

[Verse 8]
[Em]Oh, you have your [Bm]father's
face
You're growing [F#]up a
[Bm]real hard [B]case
But [Em]there's no one can [Bm]take your place
Go [G]fast [F#]asleep for your
mummy
[Bm][C][B]
