Three Plaster Ducks

D D One rainy day G when my mum was away A D I was feeling quite lonely and bored D So I scooped up the ball G And I tore down the hall A D And the grandstand erupted, I’d scored D Attempted conversion G A hard one for certain A D I gracefully place-kicked the ball D Oh God, stone the crows G It’s too late, there goes A D The three plaster ducks on the wall D Oh what a disaster G For three ducks of plaster A D So long in the hall they did soar D I miscalculated G The three ducks migrated A D And smashed into bits on the floor D Three plaster ducks G Three plaster ducks A D Three plaster ducks on the wall D When I was a boy G My mum’s pride and joy A D Were three plater ducks on the wall D Now quick as a flash G I made a smart dash A D For fear I would cop tit for tat D But I left her a note G And on it I wrote A D It weren’t me it was the cat D I prayed to lord Jesus G To stick back the pieces A D And hang the ducks back on the wall D But it’s clear that the Devil G Had begun to meddle A D ‘cause God never answered the call D For three plaster ducks G Three plaster ducks A D Three plaster ducks on the wall D When I was a boy G My mum’s pride and joy A D B Were three plater ducks on the wall E At quarter to four A I heard at the door B B The rattling of keys in the lock E Good heavens, it’s mum A The end has begun B E They’ll send me to gaol where I’ll rot E Well she looked with abhor A At the mess on the floor B E Whilst out of her range I did sneak E And I thought I was clear A Til she raided my rear B E And I couldn’t sit down for a week E Oh but three plaster ducks A Three plaster ducks B E Three plaster ducks on the wall E When I was a boy A My mum’s pride and joy B E Were three plater ducks on the wall E And me eyes got less wetter A And me bottom got better B E C# C B7 And mum speaks of me with great pride (With great pride Hummm) E ‘cause I saved up me bread A And bought four ducks instead B E And I did all my kicking outside E Oh for three plaster ducks A Three plaster ducks B E Three plaster ducks on the wall E When I was a boy A My mum’s pride and joy B E Were three plater ducks on the wall
