Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Never released<br><br>I was born in the north of england<br>I was raised in a working town<br>I broke all the rules when I went to school<br>But the teachers couldn't pin me down<br><br>I tried to make my parents proud<br>By adapting to the social powers<br>Oh pigs will fly, and the earth will fry<br>When they get me doing honest hours<br><br>Snookeroo, snookeroo<br>Daddy's going on the booze<br>Mother used to cut my hair<br>And sister used to make the news<br><br>Oh it was two rooms up and two rooms down<br>And we were sentenced by the wrecking crane<br>I was born on the eve of halloween<br>And snookeroo, snookeroo, snookeroo's my name, snookeroo<br><br>I need someone to cook for me<br>And turn me loose at night<br>I could spend my life with a factory girl<br>'cause the factory girl's my type<br><br>I hear them gossip on the street<br>Most of what they say is true<br>Oh don't you know that I hear them say<br>There goes that lazy, no-good snookeroo
