Now, the old man never talks to me, and when he does, it's moan Wash your face, it looks a disgrace, oh, what an 'appy 'ome He says I'm irresponsible, not like when he was young Then he puts on his cap and coat to watch the greyhounds run Oh, Dad's gone down the dogtrack, Mother's playin' bingo Grannie's boozin' in the parlour, hic, you oughta see the gin go No one seems to notice me, isn't it a sin What a crazy world we're livin' in Brown bread! Brown bread! Mother say's I look a yob, me trousis are too tight She says I ought to get a job and not stay out all night She doesn't like my haircut, she says me friends are lousy And then she says "It's gettin' late, can't miss me ousey-ousey" Oh, Dad's gone down the dogtrack, Mother's playin' bingo Sister's smoochin' on the sofa, you oughta hear their lingo * No one seems to notice me, isn't it a sin What a crazy world we're livin' in Yay! Law caught me out thievin', took me down the nick The sergeant made out his report, and he layed it on real thick He said "I'll get your parents", I answered with a grin "Save yourself the trouble, mate, you'll never find 'em in" Key change
