lyrics

Oh you're a shambles
but you're full of smiles
falling down the stairs
kicking down the tables
giving her the eye
you dirty little nightmare

sticks and stones may break my bones
your words will never harm me
sticks and stones may break my bones
your words will never harm me

So you're all dressed up now
trousers all tucked
quite the likely lad
knocking back the natch
cos eating's cheating
hey boy where's your charm gone?

Buff up that stella swagger
and puff your chest out hard
you're really quite a treat
bringing out your best lines
oh she'd get it would she?
do you kiss your mum with that mouth?

sticks and stones may break my bones
your words will never harm me
sticks and stones may break my bones
your words will never harm me

oh! oh! such a dirty little man
oh! oh! such a dirty little man
oh! oh! such a dirty little man
oh! oh! such a dirty little man

Oh you're a shambles
but you're full of smiles
falling down the stairs
kicking down the tables
giving her the eye
you dirty little nightmare!
