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 chased 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 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
