If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal,
if her daddy's poor, just do as you feel. 
Speed a(A)long the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty(E)five.                       
When the (B)sun goes down,    
you can (A)make it make it good in a lay(E)by.

We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean,
we love everybody but we do as we please.
When the (A)weather is fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the (E)sea.
