which a [D] mother has for her [A] son.
_ _ _ [E] _
[D] About nine or ten [A] years ago, there's this boy in Norfolk called Dino, [D] who's running [A] around with a _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [A] chopper, _ _ [E] holding up sub-post [D] offices.
_ [A] He did this for several weeks.
[E]
He got [D] caught eventually, [A] red-handed.
I remember the [E] cops said to him, _ [D] what'd you do this [A] for?
_ You've never done [E] anything wrong before in your [D] life.
[A] He said, I [E] just wanted to be somebody.
I [A] just wanted to be a staffer.

_ _ _ [A] his mum said,
[E] Mother of my Dino, [D] couldn't be Dino, couldn't be Dino.
[A] He lives on his motorcycle.
He wouldn't do such a thing.
Couldn't [E] be Dino.
_ [D] _ [A] Caught red-handed.

[E] _ Swears he's [D] gonna sort them out.

shotgun baby.
