Dmaj7C#m7
Up rolled the riot van
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
And sparked excitement in the boys
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
But the policemen look annoyed
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7Bm7
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
AC#m7Bm7EE6E
They got a chase last night from men with truncheons dressed in hats
AC#m7Bm7
They didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though for the laugh
EE6E
just for the laugh
Dmaj7C#m7
Please just stop talking
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
Because they won't find us if you do
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
Oh, those silly boys in blue
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7Bm7
Well, they won't catch me and you
AC#m7Bm7EE6E
Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me
AC#m7Bm7
I’m sorry officer, is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?
EE6E
nobody told me
Dmaj7C#m7
Up rolled the riot van
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
And these lads just wind the coppers up
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
Get their address and their names took
Dmaj7
But they couldn't care less

Dmaj7C#m7
He got thrown in the riot van
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
And all the coppers kicked him in
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7
And there was no way he could win
Bm7Dmaj7C#m7Bm7
Just had to take it on the chin
