  Help me wash up Jean Marie
  You can dry Felicity
  Stack them dishes Sally Joy
  Behind those scrubbed floors, I'm a boy
  
  I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my ma won't admit it
  I'm a boy, I'm a boy but if I say I am I get it
  
   |A                 |Eno3       |
  I wanna play cricket on the green
  |A            |Eno3           |
   Ride my bike across the stream
  |A             |Eno3     
   Cut myself and see my blood
   |A                  |Eno3            |    |    |    |
  I wanna come home all covered in mud
  
       |(D) D     (E)   E     |(A)A      (A)     
  I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my ma won't admit it
  A    |(D) D     (E)  E     |A          
  I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
  A    |(D) D     (E)  E     |(A)  A     A    
  I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
