Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

There goes Simon, he’s got four girlfriends and a moped

 They all want to ride on

But he’s only got one helmet and there’s only one of him

So you know who will be wearing it

They’re smiling and laughing, and as someone always says

 It’s an accident waiting to happen

But he pretends that he cannot hear, he’s got his brothers’ licence

 And he’ll be old enough himself this time next year

Chorus

A few more years from now, Simon will be looking round thinking

Why did nobody tell me, it wouldn’t always be so easy

To find a girl that likes me, now I’m older and I’m slightly

Overweight and I’m alone, the girls I knew have grown

They no longer answer the phone

when I ring them

Verse 2

It’s simple Simon, you picked all your fruit

 Before it even had time to ripen

Now all the girls that liked ya have seen what you really were

At school; a bit of a wanker!

Chorus

Oh it’s such a shame, cos Simon has actually changed

He’s going “why did nobody tell me it wouldn’t always be so easy?”

To find a girl that likes me, now I’m older and I’m slightly

Overweight and I’m alone, the girls I knew have grown

They no longer answer the phone… when I ring them

Verse 3

It’s simple Simon; act your age and eventually

 A nice girl will come along and find you

It’s simple Simon; act your age and eventually

The right girl will come along and maybe

Want to marry you and have your babies

 Not particularly in that order!

*Repeat Chorus*
