Snookeroo

[Intro]

One, two, three, four!

[Verse 1]

I was born in the north of England

I was raised in a working town

I broke all the rules when I went to school

But the teacher's couldn't pin me down

I tried to make my parents proud

By adapting to the social powers

Oh, pigs will fly and the Earth will fry

When they get me doing honest hours

[Chorus]

Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Daddy's going on the booze

Mother used to cut my hair

And sister used to make the news

Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down

We were sentenced by the wrecking crane

Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween

And Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Snookeroo's my name

[Verse 2]

I need someone to cook for me

And turn me lose at night

I could spend my life with a factory girl

'Cause a factory girl's my type

I hear them gossip on the street

Most of what they say is true

Oh, don't you know that I hear them say

"There goes that lazy, no good Snookeroo"

[Chorus]

Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Daddy's going on the booze

Mother used to cut my hair

And sister used to make the news

Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down

We were sentenced by the wrecking crane

Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween

And Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Snookeroo's my name

(Snookeroo!)

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]

Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Daddy's going on the booze

Mother used to cut my hair

And sister used to make the news

Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down

We were sentenced by the wrecking crane

Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween

And Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Snookeroo, Snookeroo

Snookeroo's my name, yeah!
