C                G                         C
 If it's not you moaning then it's someone else,
                G                       C
Jumping down my throat every chance you get,
                G                         C
If it's not you crying then it's probably me,
                  G                 A
You're the little dog messing up my tree -

 I remember the first day at my job,
                    G                     C
I didn't get on too well with the foreman Bob,
            G                           C
Do this, Do that, Don't even stop for a cough,
                G                   A
He used to be a sergeant in the R.A.F.


No-one pushes Billy Hunt around,
