Chorus 1:
G C
Snooker Loopy, nuts are we;
D7 G
Me and him and them and me.

With a load of balls and a snooker cue.

For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black.

G
Now ol' Milo, as we all know's,

Got loadsa dappa suits.

'Though he's got Italian roots.

E A
'Till he reaches the finals.

And whether he wins, or whether he don't,
F# Bm D
"I always bite me eye-balls".
Verse 2:
G
Now our friend Den; hours he spent,
D7 G
Down the snooker hall.
On the old green baiz, his mates seem amazed,
D7 G
At his skills with a snooker ball.
A
And them long shots, he never ever got,
E A
Why? the old mind boggles.
Bm
But nowadays, he pots the lot;
F# Bm D
"Cos I wear these gog-gles".

Now Terry the taff, was born in a gaff,
D7 G
In the valleys of the land of song.
And as the reds, he puts to bed,
D7 G
He likes to sing a-long.
A
And if I win, he says with a grin;
E A
"It can only help me can't it?"
Bm
I'll celebrate; I'll buy another eight,
F#m Bm D
"Hair-brushes, for me bar-net".
Verse 4:
G
Now old Willy Thorne; his hair's all gone,
D7 G
And his mates all take the rise.
His opponent said; "cover up his head,
D7 G
'Cos it's shining in my eyes".

A
When the light shines down, on his bare crown,

It's a cert, he's gonna walk it,

It's just not fair giving off that glare;
F#m Bm D
"Per-haps I ought to chalk it".

A
His manager of all, said; "Sod that ball",

But it helped him make his mind up.

"'Cos he's got the rest of us signed up".
