Verse 1:
FF C majorC FF
It's a Broad Lic Nic

Or I'll smash your skull
G minorGm C majorC
If you'll not drink enough Black Label

It's a hard man's drink
Bb majorBb FF
And though the bottle's broken

Put your money on the table
C majorC FF
Strain the glass through your teeth
FF
So, we grew up lean, mean
Bb majorBb FF
Kings of the street scene
Bb majorBb FF
Without a mother's guiding hand
G minorGm C majorC
To keep us clean
FF
Down your rum
Bb majorBb FF
We'll take life as it comes
Bb majorBb FF
And all you blue rinse critics
C majorC FF
Lick our literary bum

Who was 12 years my elder

My first child was born

Toasting marshmallows in Beelzebub's fire

And when the morning comes around

We'll kiss the crack of dawn
Bridge:

Are all a load
DmDm
Of pus

Till you're roly-poly stung

Till they lift you up still comatose

And slam you in the hearse
