Tom: Am
(Intro E A E A)
E A
There was one in the gang who had Scalextric
E A
And because of that he thought he was better than you
E A
Every day after school you’d go round there to play it
E A
Hoping to compete for some kind of championship
E A
But it always took about fifteen billion hours to set the track up
E A C G C G C G C G
And even when you did the thing never seemed to work
E A
It was a dodgy transformer again and again
E A
A dodgy transformer again and again
E A
It was a dodgy transformer again and again
E A E A E A
A dodgy transformer that cost three pound ten
E A
So he’d send his doting mother up the stairs with the stepladders
E A
To get the Subbuteo out of the loft
E A
He had all the accessories required for that big match atmosphere
E A
The crowd and the dugout and the floodlights too
E A
You’d always get palmed off with a headless centre forward
E A C G C G C G C G
And a goalkeeper with no arms and a face like his
E A
And he’d managed to get hold of a Dukla Prague away kit
E A
Cos his uncle owned a sports shop and he’d kept it to one side
E A
And after only five minutes you’d be down to ten men
E A
Cos he’d sent off your right back for taking the base from under his left winger
E A
And come to half time you were losing four-nil
E A
Each and every goal a hotly disputed penalty
E A
So you’d smash up the floodlights and the match was abandoned
E A
And the dog would bark and you’d be banned from his house
E A
And your travelling army of synthetic supporters
E A C G C G C G C G
Would be taken away from you and thrown in the bin
E A
Now he’s working in a job with a future
E A
He hands me my Giro every two weeks
E A
And me I’m on the lookout for a proper transformer …errr
