Intro: Gm7 Gm7 Gm7 Gm7  Am D Am D
Strophe 1:
Gm7 
I wouldn't be glad wouldn't be sad-I wouldn't be good if I knew what I could
Am D                            - Am D
And I hate to go                - But I must you know
Gm7
Duty calls -  -Niagara Falls - See it go down - As it falls on the ground
Am D                    Am                            A#        
And gets up again       At the count of ten - I would like everyone here to repeat after me
                                G#m7
Something of which I know nothing about
                Gm              D               Gm              D
Namely that which I will tell you        - (That which I will tell you)

Strophe 2:
Gm7
I'm going to school breaking a rule -I'm going around in a pityful frown
Am D                            - Am D
'Coz I didn't pass (came) - Bottom of the class (Oh! what a shame)
Gm7
Teacher was mad -So was me dad -Took off his belt -And without any help
Am D                    Am                            A#        
Really hit me hard - Where I'd stuck a card - Thick I may be but a fool I am certainly not -
                                G#m7
Always remember the golden rule
                Gm              D               Gm              D
When in no doubt get a car out - And while you're there how about...

Bridge:
Fm7
Fetching me one of those pneumatic drills
                        A#m
Boy! I really love the sound that they make
                Fm7                                     E
So good for the pains and aches of life in general - Don't be such a miser
Eb
At the most a fiver's all you pay

A# 
Many's the time - I have wondered about what it is
                                G#m7
I want you all to repeat after me
                Gm              D               Gm              D
Something I know you know I know - (Something I know you know I know)

Strophe 3:

Gm7 Gm7 Gm7 Gm7
I wouldn't behold wouldn't be cold - I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my
Am D                            - Am D
Dear old mum and dad - And the fun they had
Gm7 Gm7 Gm7 Gm7
Early one night - Dad put out the light - Got hold of me mum - Said he wanted a son
Am D                            - Am 
And as you can see - The result was me
A#
Somebody told me once money does not grow on trees
                                G#m7
Well if that's true then how do you explain
                Gm              D               Gm              D
Apples oranges and lemons - Not forgetting melons
