Time: 2/4

-3  -2*  -3 -3 -3   -3  -3    3  -4 -4
Oh boys keep a-way from the girls I say
-4   -3   4*   6   6  5*  -5
And give them plen-ty of room
-3  -2*   -3 -3 -3
For when you’re wed
  -3   -3   3    -4 -4   -4
You’ll be banged on the head
 -4 -4  -3   4*  4*  6  5* 5* -5
With a bald head-ed end of a broom
 -3 -3  -2*   -3  -3 -3 3   -4   -4
With a cross-eyed ba-by on each knee
-4 -4  -3   4*  4* 6   5*  5*  -5
And a wife with a wart on her nose
-3   -2* -2*  -3   -3
The butch-er will come
 -3 -3  3   3     -4     -4
With a dou-ble barrelled gun
-4   -4     -3  -3  4*
And you’ll have to wear 
 6   6   5*    -5
Sec-ond hand clothes
