TITLE: I'm a Boy
Lyrics and Chords


One girl's called Jean Marie 
One little girl's called Felicity 
Another little girl was Sally Joy 
The other was me, and I'm a boy 

/ A - Esus4 E / / / /

My name is Bill, and I'm a head case 
They practice making up on my face 
I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear 
Spend days just taking hairpins from my hair 

/ A E - - - / / / /

{Refrain}
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my mother won't admit it 
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but if I say I am, I get it 

/ D E A - / D E - - A - - - /

Get your frock on, Jean Marie 
Plait your hair, Felicity 
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy 
Put this wig on, little boy 

{Refrain}

Help me wash up, Jean Marie
You can dry, Felicity
Stack the dishes, Sally Joy
Behind those scrubbed floors, I'm a boy

{Refrain}

Wanna play cricket on the green 
Ride my bike across the stream 
Cut myself and see my blood 
Wanna come home all covered in mud 

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my ma won't admit it 
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy - I'm a boy - I'm a boy

/ D E A - / / / D - E - A - - - /
