On Finding the Studio Banjo Lyrics

Unemployment's rising in the Chigley part of town
And it's spreading like pneumonia
Doesn't look like going down
There's trouble at the fire station
Someone's had the sack
And the lad's are going to launch a scheme
To get rid of Captain Flack
Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate
And arm themselves with CS gas
They're going to be out late

We've had Cant Conformism since 1966
And now subversions in the air
In the shape of flying bricks

Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they better start a**embling the boys from the fort
And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight
'Cos there's going to be a riot down in Trumpton tonight
All this aristocracy has really got to stop
We could overthrow the surgery
And Kidnap Dr Mopp

Then Chippy Minton's Socialists
Could storm the market square
And make plans to a**asinate
Our autocratic mayor
Windy Militant leads his Basque-like
Corngrinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails
They smash the Town Hall door
But Snorty and his boys arrive with one big erstwhile crew
Whereupon they bring about a military coup

Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they better start a**embling the boys from the fort
And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight
'Cos there's going to be a riot down in Trumpton tonight
