[Intro]
 
E x4
 
[Verse 1]
 
E
Just cos I ain't never 'ad, no, nothing worth having
E
Never ever, never ever
E
You ain't got no call not to think I wouldn't fall
E
Into thinking that I ain't too clever
A
And it ain't not having one thing nor another
A
Neither, either is it anything, whatever
B
And it's not not knowing that their ain't nothing showing
B
And I answer to the name of Trevor, however
 
[Verse 2]
 
E
Just cos I ain't never said, no, nothing worth saying
E
Never ever, never ever, never ever
E
Things 'ave got read into what I never said, 'till me mouth becomes me 'ead
E
Which ain't not all that clever
A
And it's not not saying one thing nor another
A
Neither, either is ist anything I haven't said, whatever
B
And it ain't not proving that me mind ain't moving
B
And I answer to the name of Trevor, however
 
[Chorus]
 
E
Knock me down with a feather, clever Trevor
E                        A               E
Widebrows wonder whether Clever Trevor's clever
E
Either have they got
G
Nor neither haven't not
A
Got no right to make a clot, out of Trevor
 
[Bridge]
 
E
Why should I feel bad about something I ain't 'ad
A
Such stupidness is mad cos nothing underfoot
A
Comes to nothing less to add to a load of old toot
A
And I ain't half not half co there's nowhere to put it
A
Even if I 'ad i'm a bit of a Jack the Lad
 
[Instrumental]

E x8
A x4
B x4
 
[Chorus]
 
E
Knock me down with a feather, Clever Trevor
E                        A               E
Widebrows wonder whether Clever Trevor's clever
E
Either have they got
G
Nor neither haven't not
A
Got no right to make a clot, out of Trevor
 
[Outro]
 
E
Also, it takes much longer to get up north, the slow way
 
.... to fade out
 
Love and peace
