D A I need someone to cook for me Bm G And turn me loose at night D A I could spend my life with a factory girl Bm G 'Cause the factory girl's my type D A I hear them gossip on the street Bm G Most of what they say is true D A Oh don't you know that I hear them say Bm G There goes that lazy, no-good Snookeroo (Repeat chorus) Any comments or suggestions, please mail me ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com www.TAB6.com
