Half Man Half Biscuit - "Trumpton Riots" lyrics
*** Complimentary Trumpton Riots Ringtone ***
Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Unemployments rising In the chigley end of town,
And it's speading like pneumonia doesn't look like going down.
And the lads are going to launch a scheme to get rid of Captain Flak.
Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate,
There's trouble at the fire station someone's had the sack,
And arm themselves with CS gas - they're going to be out late.
We've had cant conformism since 1966,
And now subversions in the air in the shape of flying bricks.
Chorus:
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Unemployments rising In the chigley end of town,
And it's speading like pneumonia doesn't look like going down.
And the lads are going to launch a scheme to get rid of Captain Flak.
Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate,
There's trouble at the fire station someone's had the sack,
And arm themselves with CS gas - they're going to 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.
'Cos there's gonna be riot down in Trumpton Tonight.
And keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
All this aristocracy has really got to stop'
We could overthrow the surgery and kidnap Dr Mopp.
And make plans to assasinate our aristocratic mayor!
The Chippy Minton Socialists could storm the market square,
With windmill sails and bombs with nails they smash the town hall door.
Windy Millitant leads his Basque like corngrinders to war,
Whereupon they bring about a military coup.
But Snorty and the boys arrive with one big erstwhile crew,
Chorus x 2
That they better start assembling the boys from the fort.

And make plans to assasinate our aristocratic mayor!
The Chippy Minton Socialists could storm the market square,
With windmill sails and bombs with nails they smash the town hall door.
Windy Millitant leads his Basque like corngrinders to war,
Whereupon they bring about a military coup.
But Snorty and the boys arrive with one big erstwhile crew,
