My dad he drives a tipper
   For the factory down the lane
   And every June or July
   He takes two weeks in Spain
   He hangs his dirty trousers
   Behind the bathroom door
   Where his girlfriend puts her hair up
   Bath water on the floor
   My dad goes down the river
   Each Sunday with his boat
   And him with Roy and Kevin
   Drop beer crates on a rope
   He comes back from the river
   But his girlfriend's up the pub
   So all this fish go flying
   And he storms out in a huff
  
   My dad liked Lulu and my mum liked Simon Dee
   We used to sit together and watch them on TV
   Then one day it's over and we're splitting into three
  
   Sometimes I stay with my mum
   Her boyfriend's such a sap
   He once bought me a new rod
   That I gave to my dad
   He makes out that he likes me
   I know it isn't true
   He's got some stupid stories
   About the teds he knew
  
   My dad and me went drinking
   My mum turned up alone
   She said she couldn't take it
   His car bits in the home
   I heard them arrange a meeting
   For later in the day
   I wonder if they'll make up
   And be in love again
  
   I can see my mum in his arms
   A smile upon her face
   I never thought they'd ever make up
   And be in love again
