D                                      A
We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry

        D                           A
And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry

 D               G
I bought you a pair of shoes

 D                            G
A trumpet you can blow and a book of rules

On what to say to people when they pick on you
Cos if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty kookie too [Chorus]

Remember how they messed up this old fool

 D                           G
Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads

 D                                   G
Cos I'm not much cop at punching other people's dads

    D                            A
And if the homework brings you down
Then we'll throw it on the fire And take the car downtown [Chorus] (key change)
