Half Man Half Biscuit On Finding The Studio Banjo
Unemployment's rising in the Chigley part 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 lad's are going to launch a scheme
To get rid of Captain Flack
Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate
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
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
'Cos there's going to be a riot down in Trumpton
tonight
All this aristocracy has really got to stop
We could overthrow the surgery
And Kidnap Dr Mopp
Then Chippy Minton's Socialists
Could storm the market square
And make plans to assasinate
Our autocratic mayor
Windy Militant leads his Basque-like
Corngrinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails
They smash the Town Hall door
But Snorty and his boys arrive with one big erstwhile
crew
Whereupon they bring about a military coup
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
'Cos there's going to be a riot down in Trumpton
tonight
