Key: D
Introduction:
D A
I was born in the north of England
Bm G
I was raised in a working town
D A
I broke all the rules when I went to school
Bm G
But the teachers couldn't pin me down
D A
I tried to make my parents proud
Bm G
By adapting to the social powers
D A
Oh pigs will fly, and the earth will fry
Bm G
When they get me doing honest hours
Bm
Snookeroo, Snookeroo
A
Daddy's going on the booze
Bm
Mother used to cut my hair
A
And sister used to make the news
Bm
Oh it was two rooms up and two rooms down
A
And we were sentenced by the wrecking crane
D G Bm
I was born on the eve of Halloween
G A D
And Snookeroo, Snookeroo, Snookeroo's my name.
D A
I need someone to cook for me
Bm G
And turn me loose at night
D A
I could spend my life with a factory girl
Bm G
'Cause the factory girl's my type
D A
I hear them gossip on the street
Bm G
Most of what they say is true
D A
Oh don't you know that I hear them say
Bm G
There goes that lazy, no-good Snookeroo
(Repeat chorus)
