Now [C]I’m a young inventor, a [F]chap with [G7]good i[C]deas, I’ve [F]built my [G7]self a [C]camera, it [B7]took me years and [G7]years. It’s a [C]wonderful invention with [F]special [G7]x-ray [Am]tricks, It can [G]take a picture [G]in the [G]dark and can [G]even see through [G]bricks. [G7] I [E7]bought myself an [Am]album and [E7]filled it up with [Am]snaps, And I’ve [G]got some lovely [D7]pictures of the [G]local girls and [G7]chaps.

Now [C]I’ve got a [F]picture of the [G]girl next [G7]door, [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album, And [C]I’ve never [C7]had a better [G]snap be [G7]fore, [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album. The [Dm]night was dark and the [Em]hour was late, She was [F]kissing her boy by the [C]gar [G7]den [C]gate, [Dm]Wouldn’t she love to [E7]see page [Am]eight, [G7]in my little snapshot [C]album.

And [C]I’ve got a [C7]picture of my [G]old [G7]granddad, [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album. [C]He’s over [C7]eighty but a [G]real bad [G7]lad, [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album [Dm]Although he’s an [Em]old antique, [F]he thinks he’s still the [C]vil[G7]lage [C]sheik, I’ve [Dm]got him dancing [E7]cheek to [Am]cheek [G7]in my little snapshot [C]album.

Now [C]I’ve got a [C7]picture of the [G]vicar’s [G7]wife, [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album. [C]Chasing the [C7]Curate with a [G]carving [G7]knife [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album. Now [Dm]what he did was [Em]all in fun But it’s [F]not the kind of [C]thing [G7]that’s [C]done, I can [Dm]see he pinched her [E7]hot-cross [Am]bun, [G7]in my little snapshot [C]album.

And [C]I’ve got a [C7]picture of a [G]nudist [G7]camp, [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album, [C]All very [C7]jolly but a [G]trifle [G7]damp, [G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album. There’s [Dm]Uncle Dick [Em]without a care, [F]Discarding all his [C]un[G7]der[C]wear, But his [Dm]watch and chain still [E7]dangle [Am]there, [G7]in my little snapshot [C]album!
