Verse 1
Now lively (B major) is a (A flat minor) funny word,

But (A flat minor) (B major) to the burglar (A minor) people,
(A major) a hurgent (D major) call it bring (G major) s
Cos (C major) when they're breaking open safes, (A minor)
or nailing up mail vans
(A major) Lively (B major) just (C major) means scar (B major) fer (A major) boys,

Cos if you did, it's a (A minor) penny to (D major) a quid
to be both end (G major) up in (C major) side (A minor) (C major)
We broke into the (A minor) spinster's house
while (C major) she was knelt in (A minor) prayer
She was (C major) praying for (A minor) a man,
what (D major) sort, she didn't care
(G major) We had (C major) to dive beneath (A minor) the bed,
the dust fair made us sneeze
Ooh, (C major) that was quick, the old girl cried
(D major) and jumped up off her knees
(G major) Lively, (C major) lively, the night (F major) is going fast (C major)
Lively, lively,
we've (D major) both got moaty pant (G major) s
Lively, (C major) lively,

(B major) Now we've rehearsed for days (A flat minor) and days
A (B major) smash and grab to do
(A flat minor) You (B major) throw the brick, one (A flat major) bloke said
And I'll (D major) leave the grab to you
The (B major) brick went (A minor) through the window
Now grab, they cried and quick
It (C major) wasn't till we got away
(B major) I found (D major) I grabbed our brick
(C major) Oh, lively, lively

but I was (D major) only singing (G major) for cop (C major) pers
oh (A minor) (C major) (A minor) what a (C major) gag star
whilst on the run once (A minor) from the law
I rushed into a church
I mixed (C major) with lots of (A minor) people
(A major) just (D major) to confuse the (G major) search
I found (C major) myself right (A minor) up the front
the best (C major) place I could hide
(A minor) I (C major) had a fright when some bloke said
got the (D major) ring here (G major) comes
the bride whoops
Lively, (C major) lively, the night (F major) is going faster (C major)
Lively, lively, we're (A major) gonna go (D major) for a ride (G major)
Lively, (C major) lively, don't (F major) leave the cloak untied
(C major) For the hippie you were did
hit a penny to a (A minor) quid
To be (D major) moving up his (C major) ride
Ting -a -a -ling -ling -a -a -a
Bum -bop -bop -bop -bop -bop -bop -bop

The shop steward of (A minor) our union
was up before the judge
Who sentenced him to 18 months,
our stew (D major) ard lodged a grudge
(G major) The max (C major) imum is 12, (A minor) me lad,
the judge replied, (C major) what rot? (A minor)
You've always wanted (C major) time and a (A minor) half,
and that's (D major) just what you (G major) got
Oh (C major) lively, lively,
the night (F major) is going fast (C major)
Lively, (G major) lively, (C major) (G major) we (D major) will come again
(G major) Lively, (C major) lively, (G major) don't (F major) leave that cloak untied
(C major) Or if you did, it's a penny to a quid
Oh, go blimey, here comes (B major) I'my
La la, tucks on your jaw
Rolls on the bow, and here we go
Good (B major) luck, ladies and gentlemen,
here comes the cover
I've had some beer,
is there one in here?
We both end up inside
(A minor) (C major)
Lively!
