The Boys Of Mutton Street Lyrics

The Boys Of Mutton Street lyrics

Strolling down on Mutton Street

The moon is peeping through

Old wives say, young man, you'd better

Watch your P's and Q's



Life is good on Mutton Street

If you know the why and where

Romping on the bomb sites

There's magic everywhere



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground



We came upon those Burley boys

They were shaking like a leaf

We had our stones and dusters

We were armed right to the teeth



We fired a friendly volley

And we only maimed a few

And quick as greasy lightning

They disappeared from view



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground



Now, bonfire night it was a sight

The bonfire, how it blazed

Nearly set the street alight

So they called the fire brigade



The fire brigade got busy

But we cut the hoses clean

And suddenly the Mutton Boys

Were nowhere to be seen



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground



Alky on the corner

Shell shocked fusilier

Tip him a little drink, he'll get you

Cigarettes and beer



Thomas Tapling Senior

Got soda pop and news

Scott and Son's got toys for boys

But they push their Christian views



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground



We're the boys of Mutton Street

Mutton Street, Mutton Street

We're the boys of Mutton Street

We give no ground
