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