Song 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

Got thrown in a 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.
