C                 F
I was born in the north of England

      Am                  F
I was raised in a working town

  C                          F
I broke all the rules when I went to school

        Am                       F
But the teachers couldn't pin me down

C                  F
I tried to make my parents proud

    Am                    F
By adapting to the social powers

   C                      F
Oh pigs will fly, and the earth will fry

          Am                  F
When they get me doing honest hours

Am
Snookeroo, Snookeroo

F
Daddy's going on the booze

Am
Mother used to cut my hair

    F
And sister used to make the news

          Am
Oh it was two rooms up and two rooms down

            F
And we were sentenced by the wrecking crane

      C           F      Am
I was born on the eve of Halloween

    F                     F              C
And Snookeroo, Snookeroo, Snookeroo's my name.

C                 F
I need someone to cook for me

    Am               F
And turn me loose at night

C                            F
I could spend my life with a factory girl

           Am                F
'Cause the factory girl's my type

C                  F
I hear them gossip on the street

Am                       F
Most of what they say is true

   C                     F
Oh don't you know that I hear them say

                Am                  F
There goes that lazy, no-good Snookeroo
