Crash Test Dummies


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 your 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 your dad 

You look so scruffy lying there 
Strawberry jam tats in your hair 
In all the world you haven't a care 
And I have got so many 

It quite a struggle every day
Living on your 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 
Are Nelly's working at the loom
And she gets her pay on Friday 
Perhaps one day we'll make a splash 
When Littlewoods provides 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 your dad

OH you have your old fathers face 
You're growing up a real hard case 
But no one else can take your place 
Go fast asleep for your Mummy
