         F     C
I press my nose against the pane

Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock
 Dm      F     G
I stand on the cold stone street

A penny every day that I have saved

To buy myself some sweets

The nice little lady old and grey

The sweets that I'll be taking home

Gobstoppers in my pockets

Brown sugar in my hand

Lollies you suck that last all day

And sugar that looks like sand
