The Trumpton Riots (Live at Sheffield Leadmill)

Ner ner-ner-ner ner-ner-ner ner

Ner ner-ner-ner-ner-ner

No! Oh oh oh!

Elevate!

Unemployment's rising

In the Chigley end 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 lads are going to launch a scheme

To get rid of Captain Flack

Tell PC McGarry

To get himself a mate.

And arm themselves with C.S.Gas

They're gonna 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.

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 can overthrow the surgery

And kidnap Doctor Mop

And Chippy Minton’s Socialists

Could storm the market square

And make plans to assassinate

Our autocratic mayor!

Windy Militant leads

His Basque-like 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.
