Well my Mother died when I was only two years old

[Outro]
C D G
My mother died when I was only 2 years old.
Father he ran off to sea with another bloke I`m told.
My sister is a prostitute, my brothers doing life in jail.
Still it could have been worse, I could have been born a Mackem.
My doctor says I`ve got VD and will not last a year,
I lent my friend my car he crashed it off the pier.
I`ve lost my lucky rabbits foot it hasnt been my year.
Still it could have been worse, I could have been born a Mackem.
Peter Reid coulda been me dad, could ye eva think of anythin as bad?
I coulda been born by Roker Park singing 'wheese keeys are these?'
Which is why im glad to sing this song!
Wor lass left me for a multi millionaire,
The house was burgled and left completely bare.
and because of all the worries I`ve lost all of my hair.
Still it could have been worse, I could have been born a Mackem.
Bob Murray coulda been my dad! Could you ever think of anythin as bad!?
I coulda been workin at the Stadium of Plight on a 'SEWPER, DUWPER, COMPEWTER!"
My mother died when I was only 2 years old.
Father he ran off to sea with another bloke I`m told.
My sister is a prostitute, my brothers doing life in jail.
Still it could have been worse, I could have been born a Mackem.
