Ow!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

{?

Unemployments rising

In the chigley end of town.

And it's speading like pneumonia;

Doesn't look like going down.

There's trouble at the fire station;

Someone's head to sack.

And the lads with homes and the larger schemes

Get rid of Captain Black.

Tell B. C. McGarry

To get himself a mate.

And Ahmed tells the C. S. Gas

They're gonna be out late.

{? Will has had cankers forming in ?} since 1966.

And throws subversions in the air

The shape of flying bricks!

Chorus:

Someone get a message through

To Captain Snow

That they better start assembling

The boys from the Balzac.

Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,

'Cause there's gonna be riot

Down in Trumpton Tonight.

All this aristocracy

Has really got to stop.

We could overthrow the surgery

And kidnap Doctor {? Muff! ?}

And {? ?? ?? ?? ?} the Socialist

Who stormed the market square

And make plans to assasinate

Our autographic mayor!

Winding militant leaders

{? Bypass Congress ?} into war

With {? ?? ?? ?? ?} and {? ?? ?? ?? ?}

They smash the town hall door.

But Snorty and the boys arrive

With one by air-strike ???

?? ??? ??? they bring about

A military coup.

Chorus x 2
