| I was born in the north of England
|
| I was raised in a working town
|
| I broke all the rules when I went to school
|
| But the teacher’s couldn’t pin me down
|
| I tried to make my parents proud
|
| By adapting to the social powers
|
| Oh, pigs will fly and the earth will fry
|
| When they get me doing honest hours
|
| Snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Daddy’s going on the booze
|
| Mother used to cut my hair
|
| And sister used to make the news
|
| Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down
|
| We were sentenced by the wrecking crane
|
| Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween
|
| And snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Snookeroo’s my name
|
| I need someone to cook for me
|
| And turn me lose at night
|
| I could spend my life with a factory girl
|
| 'Cause a factory girl’s my type
|
| I hear them gossip on the street
|
| Most of what they say is true
|
| Oh, don’t you know that I hear them say
|
| «There goes that lazy, no good snookeroo»
|
| Snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Daddy’s going on the booze
|
| Mother used to cut my hair
|
| And sister used to make the news
|
| Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down
|
| We were sentenced by the wrecking crane
|
| Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween
|
| And snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Snookeroo’s my name
|
| (Snookeroo!)
|
| Snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Daddy’s going on the booze
|
| Mother used to cut my hair
|
| And sister used to make the news
|
| Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down
|
| We were sentenced by the wrecking crane
|
| Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween
|
| And snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Snookeroo, snookeroo
|
| Snookeroo’s my name, yeah! |
