Noddy From The Block

based on Jenny From The Block by Jennifer Lopez
revised lyrics by Ian Taylor, 03-Nov-2004
(NB: This is based on the radio edit which skips a verse of rap at the beginning and end from the full version. This song was originally finished on Wednesday 29th September. The second verse has been rewritten since then, but bear in mind that the author had no knowledge of events after that time when this song was finalised.)

Salad grows and Tescos produce it
Drinking, boning
Corporate droning
Everyone's got to get hungover

Don't be fooled by the chicks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to shag a little, now I shag a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)
Don't be fooled by the chicks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to shag a little, now I shag a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)

From random students and Jewish chicks
To Tobin's ex and 40 year olds, I get kicks
I stayed horny as all the girls rolled in
I think that I'm worse than Mike
I don't care what they look like
That's just me
I'm just cheesy, nothing sleazy
What you get is what you see

Don't be fooled by the cash that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)
Don't be fooled by the cash that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)

I started out quite poor
Old jumpers I wore
Eat leftover food
Then Barclays knocked upon my door
And I became a corporate whore
Love my job and my pay cheque
Pay a hundred to get wrecked
But stay real
To me it's like breathing

Don't be fooled by the drugs that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to take a little, now I take a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)
Don't be fooled by the drugs that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to take a little, now I take a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)

(instrumental)

Everyone's got to get hungover

Don't be fooled by the salad I've got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to eat a little, now I eat a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)
Don't be fooled by the salad I've got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to eat a little, now I eat a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)

Don't be fooled by the beard that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to be quite little, but it's grown a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)
Don't be fooled by the beard that I got
I'm still, I'm still Noddy from the block
Used to be quite little, but it's grown a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the North!)
