The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

A sorting office in the Old Kent Road

Caters from coast to most

A nice little number if you're out of work

And aren't the sort to boast,

you're in need of a job, bob-a-job, rob-a-job

I'm your man to see

I'll sit I'll listen I'll not say a word

The less said would be best for we

Ooh, what a firm of naughty boys

Ooh, I've been a naughty boy

We don't want to mark each other's card

Except the one you need

I need you and your returns to help

Build my company.

My twins work Brighton on a sunny day

They cover town with the shake of a hand

On a high come back coz of no come back

Now they're working in the promised land.

Ooh, what a pair of naughty boys

Ooh, I've been a naughty boy

(The Allied Irish Cyprus Bank)

(India Bank Bank of Turkey)

(United Bank The People's Bank)

(To catch the worm you got to be up early)

Temporarily out of bounds had to move office

Clear out of town

For every problem there's a solution and

I can do without constitution

Dealing cards from up the Old Kent Road

I've been checked up on my heavy load

You can go but be back soon

I'll have some work for you to groom.

Ooh, what a lot of naughty boys

Ooh, I've been a naughty boy

(Trustees Bank, Barclays Bank)

(The Natwest Bank, Midland Bank)

(Bank Of Scotland, Williams and Glyns)

(Bureau de Change, The People's Bank)

Ooh, what a lot of naughty boys

Ooh, what a pair of naughty boys

Ooh, what a firm of naughty boys

Ooh, I've been a naughty boy
