BRIDGE
G C G C
Yesterday was horrid day, 'cause Raymond kicked my shin
G C G C
And mummy says if I am good, she'll let me go to school in august
A D A D
Daddy shouted loud at mummy and I dropped my toast at breakfast

And I laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickled

I wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly five

If I close one eye, the people on that side can't see me

I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if he'd make me five
