[Verse 1]
D D7 A A7
We've bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry,
D D7 A A7
And a funny old crib, on which the paint won't dry,
D D7 G
I bought you a pair of shoes,
D D7 G
A trumpet you can blow, and a book of rules...
D D7 A A7
...On what to say to people when they pick on you,
A
'Cause, if you stay with us,
A7 A A7
You're gonna be pretty ...kookie too!

And if you ever have to go to school,
D D7 A A7
Re - member how they messed up this old fool,
D D7 G
Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads,
D D7 G
'Cause I'm not much cop at punching other people's dads,
D D7 A A7
And if the homework brings you down,
A A7
Then we'll throw it on the fire,
A A7
And take the car down - town!
