Verse 1: (start on the E key) 
E                                      A              E 
School holidays were dragin' on he was gettin' really bored, 
        A               E                     F#              B 
And his mum had started poppin' pills she was climbin' up the wall, 
           E                               A                 E 
So when he asked if he could go across the buildin' site and play, 
         A              E                    B                E 
She just popped another pill and just said, "don't get in the way". 
      E                                  A              E 
So he chucked his little tool box in his billy cart and left, 
          A                E                F#         B 
While his mum knocked up a cuppa laced with valium and bex, 
    E                                A         E 
She needed all the help she could to cope with holidays, 
        A                 E                   B                E 
But the pills and powders weren't enough when he got back from play... and said... 
   E 
"I wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up... hey mum... 
                                    F#              B 
And build fuckin' houses everywhere millions of the cunts, 
  E                          A              E 
A bricky or a chippy hey mum I don't give a fuck, 
       A                  E 
I just wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up". 
 
 
Verse 2: (step up to the F key) 
 
It seems the sawn off shit had listened to the builders while they worked, 
And he'd remembered everythin' word for fuckin' word, 
And his shellshocked mum just sat there as he went on to explain, 
"How some wanker lost the fuckin' plans then found the cunts again, 
And how some dickhead missed the fuckin' nail and hit his fuckin' thumb, 
And how they shaved a mickey whisker off the door ta close the cunt", 
And his voice was so excited best fun he'd ever had, 
"And can I go back tomorrow Mum can't wait till I tell Dad... 
'bout how... 
 
"I wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up 
And build fuckin' houses everywhere millions of the cunts, 
A bricky or a chippy really I don't give a fuck, 
I just wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up". 
 
 
Verse 3: (step up to the G key) 
 
His mum was scoffin' scotch and sarapacs and proped against the fridge, 
And when his dad got home she dribbled, "tell ya father what ya said", 
So the young bloke give his dad a serve didn't even stop for breath, 
"Fuck the weather, fuck the foreman hey dad up the BLF". 
His old man turned fuckin' purple and his whole body started ta twitch, 
Untill finally he exploded, "Go and get a switch". 
The young bloke shook his head and said "No way mate I've knocked off, 
anyhow you can go and get rooted 'cause that's a fuckin' electrician's job... 
fuckin' wanker... 
 
'Cause I wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up 
And build fuckin' houses everywhere millions of the cunts, 
A bricky or a chippy not a sparky go get fucked, 
I just wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up". 
 
Yeah I wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up eh eh eh 
And build fuckin' houses everywhere millions of the cunts, 
A bricky or a chippy ya cranky bastard go get fucked, 
I just wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up". 
 
Yeah I wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up dad 
And build fuckin' houses everywhere millions of the cunts, 
A bricky or a chippy your not me foreman go get fucked, 
I just wanna be a fuckin' builder when I grow up".
