Verse 1
G 
It's getting late, have you seen my mates?
F 
Ma tell me when the boys get here
C 
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
G 
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a
barrel full of monkeys
F 
And my old lady she don't care
C 
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
G 
A  handful of grease in her hair

Verse 2
packed pretty tight
in here tonight
F 
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
C 
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
G 
I may sink a little drink
and shout out she's with me
A couple of the sounds that I really like
F 
Are the sounds of a switchblade
and a motorbike
C 
I'm a  juvenile product of the working class
G 
Whose best friend floats
Dm7 
Dm7 
in the bottom of a glass, oh
