Trumpton Riots Lyrics - Singles - Half Man Half Biscuit

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 had the sack. 

And the lads have organised a scheme 

To get rid of Captain Black. 

Tell PC McGarry 

To get himself a mate. 

And arm themselves with C.S.Gas 

They're gonna be out late. 

We've had Kant 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. 

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'll overthrow the surgery 

And kidnap Doctor Mop 

And Chigley Militant Socialists 

Will storm the market square 

And make plans to assasinate 

Our autocratic mayor! 

Windy Militant rages past 

With 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.
