Up rolled the riot van 

   Bm7                              Dmaj7 C#m7 

And sparked excitement in the boys 

   Bm7                          Dmaj7 C#m7 

But the policemen look annoyed 

   Bm7                                    Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 

Perhaps these are ones they should avoid 



A                  C#m7                         Bm7          E  E6  E 

They got a chase last night from men with truncheon’s dressed in hats 

A                             C#m7                              Bm7 

They didn’t do that much wrong, still ran away though for the laugh 

                   E  E6  E 

just for the laugh 





Please just stop talking 

Because they won’t find us if you do 

Oh those silly boys in blue 

Well they won’t catch me and you 



Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me 

I’m sorry officer is there a certain age you’re supposed to be? 

nobody told me 



Up rolled the riot van 

And these lads just wind the coppers up 

Ask why they don’t catch proper crooks 

Get their address and their name’s took 

But they couldn’t care less
