Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics
Trumpton Riots

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 Flack.

Tell P.C. McGarry
To get himself a mate.
And arm himself with CS Gas
They're gonna be out late.
We've had Cant conformism since 1966.
And now subversion's 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 could overthrow the surgery
And kidnap Doctor Mopp
Then Chippy Mintons Socialists
Could storm the market square
And make plans to assasinate
Our autocratic mayor!

Windy Millitant leads
his basque-like corngrinders 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.
