Текст песни Ringo Starr - Snookeroo

By Elton John and Bernie Taupin

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!
I WAS BORN IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND,
I WAS RAISED IN A WORKING TOWN
I BROKE ALL THE RULES WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL,
BUT THE TEACHER'S COULDN'T PIN ME DOWN
I TRIED TO MAKE MY PARENTS PROUD
BY ADAPTING THE SOCIAL POWERS
OH, PIGS WILL FLY AND THE EARTH WILL FRY,
WHEN THEY GET ME DOING HONEST HOURS
SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO, DADDY'S GOING ON THE BOOZE
MOTHER USED TO CUT MY HAIR AND SISTER USED TO MAKE THE NEWS
WELL, IT WAS TWO ROOMS UP AND TWO ROOMS DOWN,
WE WERE SENTENCED BY THE WRECKING CRANE
OH, I WAS BORN ON THE EVE OF HALLOWEEN
AND SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO'S MY NAME
I NEED SOMEONE TO COOK FOR ME
AND Turn Me Lose AT NIGHT
I COULD SPEND MY LIFE WITH A FACTORY GIRL,
'CAUSE A FACTORY GIRL'S MY TYPE
I HEAR THEM GOSSIP ON THE STREET,
MOST OF WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE
OH, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I HEAR THEM SAY,
"THERE GOES THAT LAZY, NO GOOD SNOOKEROO"
SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO, DADDY'S GOING ON THE BOOZE
MOTHER USED TO CUT MY HAIR AND SISTER USED TO MAKE THE NEWS
WELL, IT WAS TWO ROOMS UP (two rooms up)
AND TWO ROOMS DOWN, (two rooms down)
WE WERE SENTENCED BY THE WRECKING CRANE
OH, I WAS BORN ON THE EVE OF HALLOWEEN
AND SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO, (Snookeroo)
SNOOKEROO'S MY NAME
(Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo)
SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO, DADDY'S GOING ON THE BOOZE
MOTHER USED TO CUT MY HAIR AND SISTER USED TO MAKE THE NEWS
WELL, IT WAS TWO ROOMS UP (two rooms up)
AND TWO ROOMS DOWN, (two rooms down)
WE WERE SENTENCED BY THE WRECKING CRANE
WELL, I WAS BORN ON THE EVE OF HALLOWEEN
AND SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO,
SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO,
SNOOKEROO, SNOOKEROO,
SNOOKEROO'S MY NAME, YEH
