Ner ner-ner-ner ner-ner-ner ner | |
Ner ner-ner-ner-ner-ner | |
No! Oh oh oh! | |
Elevate! | |
Unemployment's rising | |
In the Chigley end of town. | |
And it's spreading like pneumonia; | |
Doesn't look like going down. | |
There's trouble at the fire station; | |
Someone's had the sack. | |
And the lads are going to launch a scheme | |
To get rid of Captain Flack | |
Tell PC McGarry | |
To get himself a mate. | |
And arm themselves with C.S.Gas | |
They're gonna be out late. | |
We've had Cant conformism since 1966. | |
And now subversions in the air | |
In the shape of flying bricks! | |
Chorus: | |
Someone get a message through | |
To Captain Snort | |
That they better start assembling | |
The boys from the fort. | |
And 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 can overthrow the surgery | |
And kidnap Doctor Mop | |
And Chippy Minton’s Socialists | |
Could storm the market square | |
And make plans to assassinate | |
Our autocratic mayor! | |
Windy Militant leads | |
His Basque-like corn grinders to war | |
With windmill sails and bombs with nails | |
They smash the town hall door. | |
But Snorty and the boys arrive | |
With one big erstwhile crew | |
Whereupon they bring about | |
A military coup. | |
Chorus x 2 |
