Liverpool Lullaby The Mucky Kid

Intro : Bm


Bm           F#    Bm
Oh you are a mucky kid,
           G       F#  Bm
Dirty as a dustbin lid.
                  F#         Bm
When he hears the things you did,
       G     F#             Bm
You'll get a belt from your Dad.


G                Bm
Oh you have your father's nose,
           F#     Bm        B
So crimson in the dark it glows,
G                             Bm
If you're not asleep when the boozers close,
       G     F#             Bm
You'll get a belt from your Dad.




Bm                  F#    Bm
You look so scruffy lying dur
                    G         F#   Bm
Strawberry-jam tarts in yer hair,
                        F#        Bm
Though in the world you haven't a care
    G      F#     Bm
And I have got so many.


G                     Bm
It's quite a struggle every day
       F#      Bm        B
Living on your father's pay,
G                    Bm
The bugger drinks it all away
      G       F#      Bm
And leaves me without any.


Bm -> Cm


Cm                   G       Cm
Although we have no silver spoon,

Better days are coming soon
                    G      Cm
Now Nelly's working at the Lune
    G#        G       Cm
And she gets paid on Friday.


G#                    Cm
Perhaps one day we'll have a splash,
            G       Cm        C
When Littlewoods provide the cash,
G#                      Cm
We'll get a house in Knotty Ash

And buy your Dad a brewery.
