Intro |C |C |C |F |C |C |G |C ||

C G F

In the rosy parks of England we'll sit and have a drink

C F G

Of VP wine and cider 'til we can hardly think

C G F

And we'll go where the spirits take us to heaven or to hell

C F G C

And kick up bloody murder in the town we love so well

C

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

C F G

From the dear old streets of Kings Cross to the doors of the ICA

C

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

C F G

We'll drink the rat's piss kick the shite and I'm not going home tonight

C

yip ay aye yip ay aye

From Brixton's lovely boulevards to Hammersmith's sightly shores

We'll scare the Camden Palace poofs and worry all the whores

There's lechers up in Whitehall and queers in the GLC

And when we've done those bastards in we'll storm the BBC

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

From Surrey Docks to Somers Town with a KMRIA

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

We'll drink the rat's piss kick the shite and I'm not going home tonight

yip ay aye yip ay aye

Inst ||:C G|C G|C G|F G C:||

From a five bob bet in William Hills to a Soho sexshop dream

From a fried egg in Valtaro's to a Tottenham Court Road ice cream

We'll spew and lurch get nicked and fixed on the way we'll kill and maim

When you haven't got a penny boys it's all the bloody same

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

From Pentonville Road on a sunset eve to the beauty that's Mill Lane

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

We'll drink the rat's piss kick the shite and I'm not going home tonight

yip ay aye yip ay aye

This town has done us dirty this town has bled us dry

We've been here for a long time and we'll be here 'till we die

So we'll finish off the leavings of blood and glue and beer

And burn this fucking city down every the summer of the year

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

From Arlington House with a two bob bit to the Scottish shores today

Going transmetropolitan yip ay aye

We'll drink the rat's piss kick the shite and I'm not going home tonight

yip ay aye yip ay aye yip ay aye
