Cilla Black – Liverpool Lullaby Chords

Oh you are a mucky kid,
You’re dirty as a dustbin lid.
When he hears the things you did,
You’ll get a belt from your Dad.

Oh you have your father’s nose,
So crimson in the dark it glows, (optional )
If you’re not asleep when the boozers close,
You’ll get a belt from your Dad.

You look so scruffy lying there
Strawberry jam tarts in yer hair,
In the world you haven’t a care
And I have got so many.

It’s quite a struggle every day
Living on your father’s pay,
The bugger drinks it all away
And leaves me without any.

Although we have no silver spoon,
Better days are coming soon
Now Nelly’s working at the Lune
And she gets paid on Friday.

Perhaps one day we’ll have a splash,
When Littlewoods provide the cash,
We’ll get a house in Knotty Ash
And buy your Dad a brewery.

Oh you are a mucky kid,
Dirty as a dustbin lid.
When he hears the things you did
You’ll get a belt from your Dad.

Oh you have your father’s face,
You’re growing up a real hard case,
But there’s no one can take your place,
Go fast asleep for yer Mammy.
