Album: New Season: The Peel Sessions
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 are going to launch 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 calm conformers in 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 Chicley 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
