Intro

        

Verse One

I’d rather play noughts and crosses with you 
Than go to the pictures or the zoo 
I’m very daft at dancing, at moonlight or romancing
I’d rather play noughts and crosses with you 
I’ve never been one for billiards or darts 
I’m much too shy to play a game of hearts 
At dog tracks or the races, I always lose my braces
I’d rather play noughts and crosses with you  

Chorus

Here am I, a funny sort of guy
I wouldn’t dare to hold your hand   
Let’s begin, maybe I’ll let you win
I hope that you understand  
Sitting around a table for two 
That’s the only thing I want to do 
There’s something cute about you, I couldn’t do without you
Playing a simple game, tell me you feel the same
I’d rather play noughts and crosses with you

Verse Two

I’d rather play noughts and crosses with you 
Than take you to a French non-stop revue 
It may not be so funny, but still it saves me money
I’d rather play noughts and crosses with you 
I haven’t the manly figure for sports 
I never think I look my best in shorts 
I lose my breath at biking, and as for that mixed hiking
I’d rather play noughts and crosses with you  

Chorus

One fine day, if luck should come my way
We’ll have a little kitchenette   
You and me, and when we’ve had our tea
I hope that you won’t forget  
Playing at noughts and crosses with you 
That’s the only way that I can woo 
Though now you’re far above me, in time you’ll learn to love me
Isn’t it bold and bad? Ee, but I feel a lad
Playing at noughts and crosses with you
