  • Snooker loopy nuts are we
    Me and him and them and me
    We'll show you what we can do
    With a load of balls and a snooker cue

    Pot the reds then, screw back
    For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    We're all snooker loopy

    Now ol' Milo as we all know's
    Got loadsa dappa suits
    London bred and he keeps his head
    'Though he's got Italian roots
    Emotional but he keeps his cool
    'Til he reaches the finals
    And whether he wins or whether he don't
    'I always pipes his eyeballs'

    Now our friend Den, hours he spent
    Down the snooker hall
    On the old green baize his mates seem amazed
    At skills with a snooker ball
    And them long shots, he never ever got
    Why? The old mind boggles
    But nowadays he pots the lot
    'Cos I wear these goggles'

    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    Me and him and them and me
    We'll show you what we can do
    With a load of balls and a snooker cue

    Pot the reds then, screw back
    For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    We're all snooker loopy

    Now Terry the taff was born in a gaff
    In the valleys of the land of song
    And as the reds he puts to bed
    He likes to sing along
    And if I win he says with a grin
    It can only help me can't it
    I'll celebrate, I'll buy another eight
    'Hairbrushes for me barnet'

    Now old Willy Thorne his hair's all gone
    And his mates all take the rise
    His opponent said cover up his head
    Cos it's shining in my eyes
    When the light shines down on his bare crown
    It's a cert he's gonna walk it
    It's just not fair giving off that glare
    'Perhaps I ought to chalk it'

    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    Me and him and them and me
    We'll show you what we can do
    With a load of balls and a snooker cue

    Pot the reds then, screw back
    For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    We're all snooker loopy

    Now Steve last year come very near
    To winning the snooker crown
    But he never got to put it on his ginger nut
    Cos the black ball wouldn't go down
    His manager of all said 'Sod that ball'
    But it helped him make his mind up
    Now he don't care who wins this year
    'Cos he's got the rest of us signed up'

    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    Me and him and them and me
    We'll show you what we can do
    With a load of balls and a snooker cue

    Pot the reds then, screw back
    For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    We're all snooker loopy

    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    Me and him and them and me
    We'll show you what we can do
    With a load of balls and a snooker cue

    Pot the reds then, screw back
    For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    We're all snooker loopy

    Snooker loopy nuts are we
    We're all snooker loopy

    Snooker loopy nuts are we.....
    We're all snooker loopy Publisher: Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

  • Paul from GlasgowTerry also won the Masters and became the 2nd player in history to win the triple crown. He would later reach the final of the 1988 World Championship too.
  • Diana Lyons from LeedsThis may be historic - but how could the fact that you referred to Terry Griffiths, former World and UK champion as 'Tony' be let pass all these years? Sloppy Loopy perhaps!
