[N]
[Eb] Now [Cm] there's a word that I don't understand
I hear it every day with my old man
It may be cockney and rhyme and slang
It ain't no school [G] book
[Cm] He says it every time that he [C] gets mad
[Cm] Regular cool shirts with my old dad
[F] Well the old man up the wrong [G] way
Let your love, your lyrics [C] say
[Ab]
[G] Give it to you
Give it to ya
[C] Give it to ya
When the kids [Cm] are swinging on the gate
[F] When the paper boys open now are late
[C] When the pigeons are pecking at his seeds
[F] When the fogger [D] starts digging up his beans
Give it to you
Give it to [F] you
Oh Snoop Richie, [D]
that's the old [G] man's game
[C] Now the old man was a desert rat
[Cm] Cocky shoeskin and a [C] cocky hat
How me mother could have fancy that
I just [Gm] don't know
[G]
But [Cm] when the enemy came to sight
They gave up without [C] a fight
[F] Oh they rubbed him up the wrong way
[G] This is what the old man [C] say
[Ab]
[G] Give it to you
Give it to ya
[C] Give it to ya
When me rock and roll records wake him up
[F] Give it to ya
When the foes knock England out the cup
[C] Give it to ya
When the kicks are banging on his door
[F] Give it to ya
When the farmer [Gb] won't sell him anymore
Give it to you
Give [F] it to you
Oh Snoop [D] Richie, he's always been [G] the same
[Cm] Give it to [C] ya
[F] Give it to ya
[C] Give it to ya
[F] Give it to [Fm] ya
[C] Give it to ya
Give it to ya
When me mama says he can't go round the pub
[Eb] Give it to ya
When my sister's [F] boyfriend's hikin' sister up the club
[C] Give it to ya
That's Tomcat when they're kickin' up the dean
Give it to ya
[Gbm] [C]
[F]
