Benny was the bouncer at the Palais de Danse

He'd slash your granny's face up given half a chance

He'd sell you back the pieces, all for lss than half a quid

He thought he was the meanest

Until he met with Savage Sid

Now Sidney was a greaser with some nasty roots

He poured a pint of Guinness over Benny's boots

Benny looked at Sidney

Sidney stared right back in his eye

Sidney chose a switchblade

And Benny got a cold meat pie

Oh! What a terrible sight

Much to the people's delight

One hell of a fight

Sidney grabbed a hatchet, buried it

In Benny's head

The people gasped as he bled

The end of a Ted?

Well, they dragged him from the wreckage of the Palais in bits

They tried to stick together all the bits that would fit

But some of him was missing

And "part of him" arrived too late

So now he works for Jesus

As the bouncer at St. Peter's Gate
