I feel for you, you little horror

Safe at your mother's breast

No lucky break for you around the corner

'Cause your father is a bully

And he thinks that you're a pest

And your sister she's no better than a ***. Life seems so rosy in the cradle,

But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you

And throw you on the side

And all because they love themselves sincerely

And the man holds a bread knife

Up to you throat is four feet wide

And he's anxious just to show you what it's for. Your mother works so hard to make you happy

But take a look outside the nursery door

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore And all the sad and empty faces

That pass you on the street

All running in their sleep, all in a dream

Every loving handshake

Is just another man to beat

How your heart aches just to cut him to the core Life seems so rosy in the cradle,

But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore
