Riot Van

Lyrics

So up rolls a riot van
 And sparks excitement in the boys
 But the policemen look annoyed
 Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
 ♪
 Got a chase last night
 From men with truncheons dressed in hats
 ♪
 We didn't do that much wrong
 Still ran away though, for the laugh
 Just for the laugh
 And, please, just stop talking
 'Cause 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?
 'Cause nobody told me"
 And up rolls the riot van
 And these lads just wind the coppers up
 They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
 They get their address and their names took
 
 But they couldn't care less
 ♪
 Thrown in the riot van
 And all the coppers kicked him in
 And there was no way he could win
 Just had to take it on the chin
 
 So up rolls a riot van
 And sparks excitement in the boys
 But the policemen look annoyed
 Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
 ♪
 Got a chase last night
 From men with truncheons dressed in hats
 ♪
 We didn't do that much wrong
 Still ran away though, for the laugh
 Just for the laugh
 And, please, just stop talking
 'Cause they won't find us if you do
 Oh, those silly boys in blue
 Well, they won't catch me and you

 And all the coppers kicked him in
 And there was no way he could win
