lyrics

Oh you are a mucky kid 
Dirty as a dustbin lid 
When he hears the things that you did 
You'll get a belt from yer dad 
Oh, you have your father's nose 
So crimson in the dark it glows
 If you're not asleep when the boozers close 
You'll get a belt from yer dad 

You look so scruffy lying there 
Strawberry jam tarts in your hair
 In all the world you haven't a care 
And I have got so many 
It's quite a struggle every day 
Livin' on yer father's pay 
The beggar drinks it all away 
And leaves me without any
 
Although you have no silver spoon 
Better days are coming soon 
Our Nelly's working at the loom 
And she gets paid on Friday 
Perhaps one day we'll have a splash 
When little woods provide the cash
 We'll get a house in Knotty Ash 
And buy your dad a brewery 

Oh you are a mucky kid 
Dirty as a dustbin lid 
When he hears the things that you did 
You'll get a belt from yer dad 
Oh you have your father's face 
You're growing up a real hard case
 But there's no one can take your place 
Go fast asleep for your mummy
