 D                 
 A
I was born in the north of England
      
 Bm                  
 G
I was raised in a working town
  
 D                          
 A
I broke all the rules when I went to school
        
 Bm                       
 G
But the teachers couldn't pin me down


 D                  
 A
I tried to make my parents proud
    
 Bm                    
 G
By adapting to the social powers
   
 D                      
 A
Oh pigs will fly, and the earth will fry
          
 Bm                  
 G
When they get me doing honest hours


 Bm
Snookeroo, Snookeroo

 A
Daddy's going on the booze

 Bm
Mother used to cut my hair
    
 A
And sister used to make the news

          
 Bm
Oh it was two rooms up and two rooms down
            
 A
And we were sentenced by the wrecking crane
      
 D           
 G      
 Bm
I was born on the eve of Halloween
    
 G                     
 A              
 D
And Snookeroo, Snookeroo, Snookeroo's my name.


 D                 
 A
I need someone to cook for me
    
 Bm               
 G
And turn me loose at night

 D                            
 A
I could spend my life with a factory girl
           
 Bm                
 G
'Cause the factory girl's my type


 D                  
 A
I hear them gossip on the street

 Bm                       
 G
Most of what they say is true
   
 D                     
 A
Oh don't you know that I hear them say
                
 Bm                  
 G
There goes that lazy, no-good Snookeroo

(Repeat chorus)
