[D]I give wanking this morning
[G]I never thought that I [D]could
[G]I'm feelin' better [D]already
And this time I'm [A]off it for [D]good
[D]When I first wanked, I's though I's so clever
And Gall of me mates, they were Dmugs
GThought I was the first
DBloke here on Earth
EWho'd ever played with his Aslug
DIt was me own little secret
And GI never told anyDone
And the Gfeelin' I got
The Dfirst time I shot
Was like chooks flyin' Aout o' me Dbum
I'm Dgivin' up wanking...tomorrow
GI never thought that I Dcould
GThen I won't get these bad Dheadaches
And then I'll be Aoff it for Dgood
I've Dwanked in some unlikely places
The Gshower, the beach and the Dpool
A Gdunny, a tram and the Dpictures
And Ebiology classes at Aschool
And Donce me grandmother caught me
GWankin' meself in me Droom
But Gto her surprise
I Djust shut me eyes
And imagined her Astandin' there Dnude
I'm Dgivin' up wanking...Tuesday
GI never thought that I Dcould
And Gthen I won't skwint like I Ddo now
And then I'll be Aoff it for Dgood
Me DDad says it's gonna take willpower
There Greally is no easy Dtrick
I Ghonestly thought I'd need Dsurgery
To Ehelp get me hand off me Adick
Me DDad's been a great inspiration
He Greally has been a great Dhelp
He Gknows what I go through
And Djust what to do
'Cause he give it up Ayesterd' himDself
So DI'm givin' up wanking next Frid'
GI never thought that I Dcould
And GI'll throw away me thick Dglasses
And then I'll be Aoff it for Dgood
So if you Dsay you don't wank, you're a liar
And a Gfool if you say that you Ddo
So Gnext time you see, Prince DCharles on TV
Remember he Awanks himself Dtoo
So DI'm givin' up wanking come Christmas
GI never thought that I Dcould
And GI'll sell me dog and me Dwhite cane
And then I'll be Aoff it for Dgood
And GI'll throw away me dark Dglasses
And then I'll be Aoff it for Dgood
