We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
DA
And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry

I bought you a pair of shoes

A trumpet you can blow and a book of rules

On what to say to people when they pick on you
Cos if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty kookie too
CHORUS, INTRO
And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads
Cos I'm not much cop at punching other people's dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we'll throw it on the fire
And take the car downtown
