I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock
Yeah I got my fingers dirty so I took a walk
I went up to the country park and hung around till after dark
And the girls got home
Till the girls got home
Did I tell you 'bout the one I know, she's on the rag?
She spent the summer day inside her sleeping bag
Yeah she spent the summer day inside until it's time to go to work
And she works all night
Cause the girl's all right
The girls have got a house that's like a caravan
And it's like your holiday whenever you go round
We always have a laugh and then we all get in the bath
To save on the leccy bill
Me and Jo and Phil
play INTRO):
I had to leave them in the morning
I left the keys around the way
I had to go to work
I had to leave them in the morning
I left the keys down in the caff
I had to catch a bus
And when Jo was short of cash I had to give her some
But I didn't really mind 'cause I was fit for once
So we paid the leccy bill, we got the shopping and we still had
Some for the cinema
So we all went out
She asked me "Do I need to lose a bit of weight?"
And I said "Now don't be stupid 'cause you're looking great"
Now we call her String Bean Jean because the label on her jeans says
Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small
Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small
Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small
Seven to eight years old...
