       C       C/B            Am 
I'm so childish, a little bit wildish 
        F                                 G 
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I'm so deep 

            C     C/B          Am 
Well I'm so garish, a little unfairish 
          F                              G 
The way I pick you up, and drop you in a heap 

         C       C/B             Am 
I'm so unfaithful, in fact I'm a plateful 
        C7                                  F 
I won't kiss her, but I'll stare her up all night 

      F             G           C              C/B 
I'm a stormy little singer, an unstable little swinger 
          F               G           C        G 
If you're coming, come prepared for a fight 

Well I'm so childish, a little bit wildish 
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I'm so deep 

Well I'm so uncaring, do far too much swearing 
And if you read through my behaviour, you'll find I'm a creep 

I'll play a stormer, yet in the corner 
I'll be grumpy on my own, like I don't care 

I'm a stormy little singer, an unstable little swinger 
With a big rip, in the arsehole of my flares 

Well I'm so childish, a little bit wildish 
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I'm so mad 

I'm so truthful, a little bit bruteful 
But in sooth I know not, why I am so sad 

I try my bestest, well as far the restest 
Well it's just stuff that comes out wrong, and gets misunderstood 

I'm a dandy little dreamer, a doctored misdemeanour 
A didactic destiny schemer, bare with me if you would 

Ends with: F C7 

Hope I could help!
