LIVERPOOL LULLABY

by Stan Kelly



Oh you are a mucky kid,

Dirty as a dustbin lid

When he finds out the things you did

You'll get a belt from your da

Oh you have your father's nose

So crimson in the dark, it glows

If you're not asleep when the boozers close

You'll get a belt from your da



You look so scruffy lying there

Strawberry jam tats in your hair

Though in the world you haven't a care

And I have got so many

It's quite a struggle everyday

Living on your father's pay

The bugger drinks it all away

And leaves me without any



Although we have no silver spoon

Better days are coming soon

Now Nellie's working at the loom

And she gets paid on Friday

Perhaps one day we'll have a splash

When Littlewoods provides the cash

We'll get a house in Knotty Ash

And buy your dad a brewery



Oh you are a mucky kid,

Dirty as a dustbin lid

When he finds out the things you did

You'll get a belt from your da

Oh you have your father's face

You're growing up a real hard case

But there's no one can take your place

Go fast asleep for Mammy
