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.
