G D Dsus4 'cause I'm only four and grown-ups walk too fast
D Dsus4 BRIDGE
G C G C Yesterday was horrid day, 'cause Raymond kicked my shin
G C G C And mummy says if I am good, she'll let me go to school in august
A D A D Daddy shouted loud at mummy and I dropped my toast at breakfast
A D A D And I laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickled
A G D Dsus4 I wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly five

G D Dsus4 And I'll let my daddy do the washing-up
D Dsus4 BRIDGE
G C G C If I close one eye, the people on that side can't see me
G C G C I get headaches in the morning and I rode on freddie's triclycle
A D A D And everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshop
A D A D Then I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me
A G D Dsus4 I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if he'd make me five
