Help me wash up Jean Marie
You can dry Felicity
Stack them dishes Sally Joy
Behind those scrubbed floors, I'm a boy

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy but if I say I am I get it

 |A                 |Eno3       |
I wanna play cricket on the green
|A            |Eno3           |
 Ride my bike across the stream
|A             |Eno3     
 Cut myself and see my blood
 |A                  |Eno3            |    |    |    |
I wanna come home all covered in mud

     |(D) D     (E)   E     |(A)A      (A)     
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my ma won't admit it

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
A    |(D) D     (E)  E     |(A)  A     A    
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy

I'm a boy, I'm a boy,  I'm   a boy
