[D] [D]
[A] When I'm five [G] I will wash my face and [D] hands all by myself
When [A] I'm five [G] I will chew and spit tobacco [D] like my
[C] Grandfather Jones, [G] cos I'm only four and five is far away
[D]
[A] When I'm five [G] I will read the magazines [D] in mummy's drawer
[A] When I'm five [G] I will walk behind the soldiers [D] in the
City [C]
Parade, [G] cos I'm only four and grown-ups walk [E] too fast
[D] [G] Yesterday [C] was horrid [G] day cos Raymond [C] kicked my shin
[G] And mummy says if [C] I am good she'll [G] let me go to [C] school in August
[A] Daddy shouted [E] loud and mummy [A] and I drunk my [D] toasted breakfast
And [A] I laugh and [D] Bonzo lick my [A] face because [D] it tickled
[A] I wonder why my daddy [G] cries and how I wish that I was [D] nearly five
[A] When I'm five I [G] will catch a butterfly and [E] eat it and I won't be sick
[D] [A] When I'm five I [G] will jump in puddles, laugh in [D] church and marry [C] my mum
[G] And I'll let my daddy do the [D] washing up
[G] If I [C] close one eye the [G] people on that [C] side can't see me
[G] I get headaches [C] in the morning [G] and I rode on [C] Freddy's trike
I've [A] stolen everywhere, [D] it was funny [A] when I ran down to the sweet shop
Then I fell and [D] landed at my [A] knee and everybody [D] sobbed me
[A] I saw a photograph of [G] Jesus and I asked him if [D] he'd make me five
