“Hey, What’s the craic?”
“Yeah, I’m alright. Cool as a cucumber”
“Oh Danny…I heard you got arrested again. What was it for this time?”
“You know what, buy me a pint and I’ll tell ya!”
Well it happened not so long ago,
on the streets of London’s Soho,
I was looking for some fun. (You know the usual kind)
“Ahhhgh that sounds like you!”
I searched the strip joints and the bars,
the movie houses and the cars,
but I couldn’t find any one...
Then I saw her! (Where?) On the corner!
I approached her, and said to her.
“Would you like to have, some of my best?”
she turned and said, “You! you’re under arrest!”
Son of a bitch! For soliciting! (Imagine that!)
Son of a bitch! She grabbed hold of my wrist!
Son of a bitch! Nothing I could do about it!
Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! Damn!...Son of a bitch!
“That sounds like fun! Was she sexy?
I love a girl in uniform! Did she have her handcuffs?
Ha ha ha! Woooahhh!!!”
“Very funny!”
Up jumped two coppers dressed in blue,
who said “At last we’ve caught you”,
You must be, the Soho flasher”…
(“Flasher? Me? How absurd!”) (Ha! Ha!)
“You’ve been at it for a long time,
and committed countless crimes,
we’re gonna put you away for ever...”
I was thrown in, into their wagon,
fingerprinted, at the station.
When I said I, don’t deserve this much,
they said, “Son of a bitch, go tell it to the judge”.
Son of a bitch! I’d landed in the shit!
Son of a bitch! Without realising it!
Son of a bitch! I’d put my foot in it! (“You know what I mean?”)
Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! Damn!...Son of a bitch!
“By the way, whose round is it?”
“It’s yours you cheapskate.”
“Whassa matter? Hands too short or pockets too deep?”
“Eight more pints please barman>>
La la la, la la la…la la laa…
La la la, la la la…la la laa…
La la la…la la la
La la la…uh uh uh
La la la…la la la…la la laa…
The next day I was sent to court,
the flasher has at last been caught,
so screamed all the local headlines…
(The Sun, the Mirror, the Guardian, the Express, the Star, the Mail, the Telegraph, the Sport,)
Turning to me said the judge,
“This whole thing’s becoming too much,
I’m going to give you, a hefty fine...”
Innocent but, guilty I was found,
over the peace for, eighteen months bound.
Then he turned and fined me a hundred pounds,
and then said, “Son of a Bitch, you’d better leave town”.
Son of a bitch! There ain’t no justice!
Son of a bitch! For the little fish!
Son of a bitch! I’m black and I’m Irish!
Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! Damn! Son of a bitch!
“Come on all of you. Come on. Get out. Time to go. You’ve had enough lads.
Get out of here! Alright lads, see you tomorrow. Goodnight!”
