[G] [F] [Bbm] [Db]
[Gb] I shudder [A] to think [Abm] what my father [Db] would think
[Dbm] If he came home and found [Eb] me in bed
[Abm] With more [A] than just one, [Gb] but [Ebm] several of some
[Ab] Lovely [Db] big [Gb] strawberries
He'll [A] probably shout, [Abm] give me a hell [Db] of a clout
[Dbm] Or perhaps a good kick [Eb] up the rear
[Abm] But one thing's [A] for sure, [Gb] I'll have [Ebm] to endure
[Ab] A great [Db] deal of pain, [Gb] so to speak
[Bb] I know [F] it's not right, but [Bb] for a laugh [F] every night
I [Bb] knock on [Eb] people's doors and [Abm] shout things like, [Db] up yours
[Gb] [F] [Abm]
[Db] [Dbm] [Eb]
[Abm] [A] [Gb]
[Ebm] [Ab] [Db] [Gb]
[Bb] I'll never [F] know why, but [Bb] for some reason [F] I never [Bb] did well [Eb] at school
All [Abm] I did was [Db] break rules and [G] tell lies
[F] [Bbm]
[Db] [Gb] His birthday's [A] next week, [Abm] so I thought as [Db] a treat
[Dbm] I would buy him his favorite [Eb] book
[Abm] It's not one [A] of those [Gb] with [Ebm] poetic prose
[Ab] Just full [Gb]-frontal nudity
