Introduction: Bb Eb Bb Eb
Bb Eb
There was one in the gang who had Scalextric
Bb Eb
And because of that he thought he was better than you
Bb Eb
Every day after school you?d go round there to play it
Bb Eb
Hoping to compete for some kind of championship
Bb Eb
But it always took about fifteen billion hours to set the track up
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb
And even when you did the thing never seemed to work
Bb Eb
It was a dodgy transformer again and again
Bb Eb
A dodgy transformer again and again
Bb Eb
It was a dodgy transformer again and again
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb
A dodgy transformer that cost three pound ten
Bb Eb
So he?d send his doting mother up the stairs with the stepladders
Bb Eb
To get the Subbuteo out of the loft
Bb Eb
He had all the accessories required for that big match atmosphere
Bb Eb
The crowd and the dugout and the floodlights too
Bb Eb
You?d always get palmed off with a headless centre forward
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb
And a goalkeeper with no arms and a face like his
Bb Eb
And he?d managed to get hold of a Dukla Prague away kit
Bb Eb
Cos his uncle owned a sports shop and he?d kept it to one side
Bb Eb
And after only five minutes you?d be down to ten men
Bb Eb
Cos he?d sent off your right back for taking the base from under his left winger
Bb Eb
And come to half time you were losing four-nil
Bb Eb
Each and every goal a hotly disputed penalty
Bb Eb
So you?d smash up the floodlights and the match was abandoned
Bb Eb
And the dog would bark and you?d be banned from his house
Bb Eb
And your travelling army of synthetic supporters
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb
Would be taken away from you and thrown in the bin
Bb Eb
Now he?s working in a job with a future
Bb Eb
He hands me my Giro every two weeks
Bb Eb
And me I?m on the lookout for a proper transformer ?errr
