"Oh You Mucky Kid" lyrics

"Oh You Mucky Kid"

Oh, you are a mucky kid
Dirty as a dustbin lid
When he hears the things that you did
You'll get a belt from your da

You look so scruffy lying there
Strawberry jam all through your hair
In all the world you haven't a care
And your mammy's got so many

You really have your old man's nose
How crimson in the dark it glows
If you're not asleep when the boozers close
You'll get a belt from your da

Oh, you are a mucky kid
Dirty as a dustbin lid
When he hears the things that you did
You'll get a belt from your da

'Though you have no silver spoon
Better days are coming soon
Your sister's working at the mill
And she gets her pay on Friday

Perhaps someday we'll make a splash
If the Irish Sweeps provide the cash
We'll have a house that's oh, so posh
And we'll buy your da a brewery

Oh, you are a mucky kid
Dirty as a dustbin lid
When he hears the things that you did
You'll get a belt from your da

You really have your old man's face
You're growing up a real hard case
But no one else can take your place
So go to sleep for mammy
