Verse

G                          Em
When I was a kid I had a tick on my head
   G                       Em
My parents told me that I could have been dead
    C                    D
But that didn?t worry me none
   C                    D
No that didn?t worry be none

   G                                 Em
My sister?s dressed me up yeah, they thought it'd be best
G                       Em
If I go around in their Sunday dress
    C                    D
But that didn?t worry me none
   C                    D
No that didn?t worry me none

?Cause I had my thumb

Things never worried me none

Verse

G                            Em
When we move house I thought it'd be smart
   G                Em
To bury He-Man in a hole in the yard
    C                    D
But that didn?t worry me none

No that didn?t worry be none

   G                          Em
My dog was a champ he follows me everywhere
     G                                Em
He'd sit out front my class and at my teacher would stare
    C                    D
But that didn?t worry me none
   C                    D

      G                                       Em
I was dodgy alter boy, yeah I scoffed all the bread
    G                              Em
And even got banned for whacking a kid in the head
    C                    D
But that didn?t worry me none

No that didn?t worry me none

         G                        Em
Chucking Heralds from bike use to be lots of fun
               G                         Em
But there were plenty of complaint on my paper run
    C                    D
But that didn?t worry me none,
   C                    D
No that didn?t worry me none

Yeah being a kid has it's up?s and downs
    G                         Em
But there?s one thing that I always found
     G                               Em
When life hits the skids and there?s no one around
     G                         Em
Just grab that thumb and stick it in your mouth
     C                       D
