[Verse 1]
              E     Am
Oh, you are a mucky kid
           E       Am
Dirty as a dustbin lid
                      E         Am
When he finds out the things you did
             E              Am
You'll get a belt from your Dad
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                Am
Oh, you have your father's nose
 
So crimson in the dark it glows
Dm                            Am
If you're not asleep when the boozers close
             E              Am
You'll get a belt from your Dad
 
 
[Verse 3]
                    E     Am
You look so scruffy lying there
           E                 Am
Strawberry-jam tarts in your hair
                     E         Am
And in the world you haven't a care
           E      Am
And I have got so many
 
 
[Verse 4]
Dm                    Am
It's quite a struggle every day
 
Living on your father's pay
    Dm                    Am
The bugger drinks it all away
              E       Am
And leaves me without any
 
 
[Verse 5]
                    E      Am
Although we have no silver spoon
       E               Am
Better days are coming soon
                    E      Am
Now Nelly's working at the Lune
             E       Am
And she gets paid on Friday
 
 
[Verse 6]
Dm                    Am
Perhaps one day we'll have a bash
 
When Littlewoods provide the cash
Dm                   Am
We'll get a house in Knotty Ash
             E     Am
And buy your Dad a brewery
 
 
[Verse 7]
              E     Am
Oh, you are a mucky kid
           E       Am
Dirty as a dustbin lid
                      E         Am
When he finds out the things you did
             E              Am
You'll get a belt from your Dad
 
 
[Verse 8]
Dm               Am
Oh you have your father's face
 
You're growing up a real hard case
Dm                     Am
But there's no one can take your place
         E         Am
Go fast asleep for Mammy
