G Bm
So rolls a riot van
Am G
And Sparks excitement in the boys
Bm Am G
But the policeman look annoyed
Bm Am
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
G Bm Am
G
Got a chase last night
Bm Am D
From men with truncheons dressed in hats
G
We didn't do that much wrong
Bm Am
Still ran away though for the laugh
D
Just for the laugh
G Bm
And please just stop talking
Am G Bm
Cause they won't find us if you do
Am G Bm
Oh those silly boys in blue
Am G Bm Am
Well they won't catch me and you
G
Have you been drinking, son
Bm Am D
You don't look old enough to me
G
I'm sorry, officer
Bm Am
Is there a certain age you're supposed to be
D
Cause nobody told me
G Bm
And up rolls the riot van
Am G Bm
And these lads just wind the coppers up
Am G Bm
They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
Am G Bm Am
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less
[SOLO]
G Bm
Thrown in the riot van,
Am G Bm
and all the coppers kicked him in,
Am G Bm
and there was no way he could win,
Am G Bm Am
just had to take it on the chin.
