lyrics

You bought a scratchcard and gave it to your mother
She won a fortune and walked out on your father
Now she's living with the headmistress
From your local community college

You bought a scratchcard and gave it to your father
He won a fortune but blew it on the horses
He consoled himself with super-strong lager
And now he's waiting for a liver transplant

So you decided to buy yourself a scratchcard
You didn't win but you got into the habit
And now the people from the catalogue are coming
They're going to repossess your CD player
