Help me wash up Jean Marie
You can dry Felicity
Stack them dishes Sally Joy
Behind those scrubbed floors, I'm a 
boy

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my ma 
won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy but if I say I 
am I get it

 |A                 |Eno3       |
I wanna play cricket on the green
|A            |Eno3           |
 Ride my bike across the stream
|A             |Eno3
 Cut myself and see my blood
 |A                  |Eno3          
  |    |    |    |
I wanna come home all covered in mud
