G                D                  G             D

G              D                   G                   D

A                  E              A                     E
Even at the age of ten, smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then
   G                    D             G                     D
He always beat me at Subbuteo, 'cause he flicked a kick and I didn't know

His mother bought him a synthesiser, got the Human League in to advise her
G               D              G                      D 
Now he's making lots of noise, playing along with the art School boys

Girls try to attract his attention, but what a shame, it's in vain, total rejection
G                D                        G              D       
He will never be left on the shelf 'cause Kevin, he's in love with himself
