D
My dad he drives a tipper

C                          D
For the factory down the lane

D
And every June or July

C
He takes two weeks in Spain

Em           D         Em
He hangs his dirty trousers

       Bm
On the bathroom door

C                    A
Where his girlfriend puts her hair up

C          G
Bath water on the floor

D
My dad goes down the river

C                      D
Each Sunday with his boat

D
And him with Roy and Kevin

C                        Em
Drop beer crates on a rope

              D
He comes back from the river

Em                   Bm
But his girlfriend's up the pub

C           Am
So all this fish go flying

C                 G
And he storms out in a huff
[Chorus]
Em           D           C               D
My dad liked Lulu and my mum liked Simon Dee

Em               D          C              D
We used to sit together and watch them on TV

Em                D              C              G
Then one day it's over and we're splitting into three
[Verse 2]
D
Sometimes I stay with my mum

C                       D
Her boyfriend's such a sap

                        C
He once bought me a new rod

C
That I gave to my dad

Em           D
He makes out that he likes me

Em        Bm
I know it isn't true

C
He's got some stupid stories

          G
About the teds he knew

D
My dad and me went drinking

C                   D
My mum turned up alone

D
She said she couldn't take it

C
His car bits in the home

Em             D
I heard them arrange a meeting

Em        Bm
For later in the day

C        Am
I wonder if they'll make up

C         G
And be in love again
[Chorus]
Em           D           C               D
My dad liked Lulu and my mum liked Simon Dee

Em               D          C              D
We used to sit together and watch them on TV

Em            D              A              G
Suddenly it's over and we're splitting into three
[Bridge]
Em           D
I can see my mum in his arms

  Am             B7
A smile upon her face

  Em                   Bm
I never thought they'd ever make up

    C           G
And be in love again
[Interlude] Em D Am B Em Bm C G [Chorus]
Em           D           C               D
My dad liked Lulu and my mum liked Simon Dee

Em               D          C              D
We used to sit together and watch them on TV

Em                 G              C              G
Then one day  it's over and we're splitting into three
