Eye Tooth

I've got a wobbly tooth

I've got smelly toes

I scratch my bum

and I pick my nose

I think I'm lovely

I'm six years old

I've got a spotty chin

I've got knobbly knees

I spit and swear

and I never say please

I think I'm 'ard

and I'm fifteen

I've got a flashy car

I've got a job that pays

I stay up all night

and I work long days

I think I'm invincible

I'm twenty four

I've got a boy and a girl

I've taught them words

I married their mum

but I shag loads of birds

I think I'm great

I'm thirty three

I've got an Ideal Home

I've got company Mercs

I lost my kids

but I earned my perks

I think I'm pretty cool

I'm forty two

I lost my indoor pool

I had a bitch for a wife

I love my golf

and I drink to life

I think I'm in control

I'm fifty one

I've done loads of deals

I've had loads of mates

I drink to sleep

and I forget

I think I'm sixty

They've all got it wrong

They've all been unfair

I can't stand pain

so I spit and swear

I'm sixty nine

My time is done
