Now [C]I’m a young inventor, a [F]chap with [G7]good i[C]deas,
I’ve [F]built my [G7]self a [C]camera, it [B7]took me years and [G7]years.
It’s a [C]wonderful invention with [F]special [G7]x-ray [Am]tricks,
It can [G]take a picture [G]in the [G]dark and can [G]even see through [G]bricks. [G7]
I [E7]bought myself an [Am]album and [E7]filled it up with [Am]snaps,
And I’ve [G]got some lovely [D7]pictures of the [G]local girls and [G7]chaps.


Now [C]I’ve got a [F]picture of the [G]girl next [G7]door,
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album,
And [C]I’ve never [C7]had a better [G]snap be [G7]fore,
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album.
The [Dm]night was dark and the [Em]hour was late,
She was [F]kissing her boy by the [C]gar [G7]den [C]gate,
[Dm]Wouldn’t she love to [E7]see page [Am]eight,
[G7]in my little snapshot [C]album.


And [C]I’ve got a [C7]picture of my [G]old [G7]granddad,
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album.
[C]He’s over [C7]eighty but a [G]real bad [G7]lad,
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album
[Dm]Although he’s an [Em]old antique,
[F]he thinks he’s still the [C]vil[G7]lage [C]sheik,
I’ve [Dm]got him dancing [E7]cheek to [Am]cheek
[G7]in my little snapshot [C]album.


Now [C]I’ve got a [C7]picture of the [G]vicar’s [G7]wife,
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album.
[C]Chasing the [C7]Curate with a [G]carving [G7]knife
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album.
Now [Dm]what he did was [Em]all in fun
But it’s [F]not the kind of [C]thing [G7]that’s [C]done,
I can [Dm]see he pinched her [E7]hot-cross [Am]bun,
[G7]in my little snapshot [C]album.


And [C]I’ve got a [C7]picture of a [G]nudist [G7]camp,
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album,
[C]All very [C7]jolly but a [G]trifle [G7]damp,
[G]in my little [G7]snapshot [C]album.
There’s [Dm]Uncle Dick [Em]without a care,
[F]Discarding all his [C]un[G7]der[C]wear,
But his [Dm]watch and chain still [E7]dangle [Am]there,
[G7]in my little snapshot [C]album!
