INTRO



verse 1

When I m five

I will wash my face and hands all by myself


When I m five

I will chew and spit tobacco like my grandfather jones

cause I m only four and five is far away


verse 2

When I m five

I will read the magazines in mummy s drawer


When I m five

I will walk behind the soldiers in the may day parade

cause I m only four and grown-ups walk too fast


BRIDGE

Yesterday was horrid day, cause Raymond kicked my shin

And mummy says if I am good, she ll let me go to school in august

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


verse 3

When I m five

I will catch a butterfly and eat it and I won t be sick


When I m five

I will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mum

And I ll let my daddy do the washing-up


BRIDGE

If I close one eye, the people on that side can t see me

I get headaches in the morning and I rode on freddie s triclycle

And everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshop

Then I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me

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


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


OUTRO

When I m five


When I m five


When I m oah
