The Trumpton Riots

• A

Intro: A G D A 

A             G 
Unemployments rising 
       D              A 
In the Chigley end of town 
         A                 G 
And it's speading like pneumonia; 
        D                A 
Doesn't look like going down. 
        A               G 
There's trouble at the fire station; 
D                 A 
Someone's had the sack. 
        A              G 
And the lads have organised a scheme 
       D        A 
To get rid of Captain Flack. 

C A G D A C A G D A 

Tell PC McGarry 
To get himself a mate. 
And arm themselves with C.S.Gas 
They're gonna be out late. 
We've had Kant conformism since 1966. 
And now subversions in the air 
In the shape of flying bricks! 

C 

F 
Someone get a message through 
   C 
To Captain Snort 
          E 
That they better start assembling 
    Am 
The boys from the fort. 
F                  C 
Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight, 
               E 
'Cause there's gonna be riot 
        A 
Down in Trumpton Tonight. 


A G D A 

All this aristocracy 
Has really got to stop. 
We'll overthrow the surgery 
And kidnap Doctor Mop 
And Chigley Militant Socialists 
Will storm the market square 
And make plans to assasinate 
Our autocratic mayor! 

Windy Militant rages past 
With Corn grinders to war 
With windmill sails and bombs with nails 
They smash the town hall door. 
But Snorty and the boys arrive 
With one big erstwhile crew 
Whereupon they bring about 
A military coup.
