Up the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
[Grey templates on us] he had to inflict
TV documentary that it produced
When he whistled in the street
The men would turn around in fear
Of being thought effete
Petty thief lout
Up the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
Crime
Hides records in his drawer at home
Especially when they are rare
Never gives 'em out to every Tom d*** & Harry
Who stole before from petty thief lout
Un the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
[Grey templates on us] he had to inflict
Suburbia holds
more than you care for
One must make sure
When leaving the house
Never to have white powder on the nose about
F-prints
F-prints on the fingers
Sprout
Great tempus onus
Suburbia holds more than you care for
