(h = hammer-on, p = pull-off)

 I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock

 Yeah I got my fingers dirty so I took a walk

 I went up to the country park and hung around till after dark

 And the girls got home

 Till the girls got home

 Did I tell you 'bout the one I know, she's on the rag?

 She spent the summer day inside her sleeping bag

 Yeah she spent the summer day inside until it's time to go to work

 And she works all night

 Cause the girl's all right

Middle four

 The girls have got a house that's like a caravan

 And it's like your holiday whenever you go round

 We always have a laugh and then we all get in the bath

 To save on the leccy bill

 Me and Jo and Phil

Chorus

play INTRO):

 I had to leave them in the morning

 I left the keys around the way

 I had to go to work

 I had to leave them in the morning

 I left the keys down in the caff

 I had to catch a bus

Middle eight

 And when Jo was short of cash I had to give her some

 But I didn't really mind 'cause I was fit for once

 So we paid the leccy bill, we got the shopping and we still had

 Some for the cinema

 So we all went out

 She asked me "Do I need to lose a bit of weight?"

 And I said "Now don't be stupid 'cause you're looking great"

 Now we call her String Bean Jean because the label on her jeans says

 Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small

 Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small

 Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small

 Seven to eight years old...
