Over The Wall We Go - David Bowie
Over the wall we go All coppers are nanas Over the wall we go Leave him a note saying "Wish you was here" I know the best ways to break out of here I helped a young laddie called Ivan Over the wall last night Then he climbed back and he grabbed me tight He uttered some words that I can't say to you Cause he remembered that he was a screw Over the wall we go All coppers are nanas Over the wall we go Leave him a note wishing "Happy New Year" My name is Henry Some say I'm thick I've spent half me life in and out of nick Me mum sends me presents to keep me in style Soggy old cakes and hundreds of files God sussed all them files I'm a clever young man Now I'm just stupid with manicured hands Over the wall we go All coppers are nanas Over the wall we go Nobody's left and the screws are in tears spoken "Double 3, 427""Here sir" "Double 3, 428""Here sir" "Double 3, 429, Double 3, 429, where is he?" "He went out for a cup of tea at the local football match sir" "Oh.... well he might have invited me" Over the wall we go All coppers are nanas Over the wall we go Nobody's left and the screws are in tears We tried digging tunnels but gave up the ghost Just past the Kensington Yards at the most Our limbs was aching, we felt pretty pooped Our clothes they was tatty, our hallows did droop We crawled back to safety, our hearts filled with gloom Cause we'd dug ourselves through to the smallest room Over the wall we go All coppers are nanas Over the wall we go Leave him a note wishing "Happy New Year" spoken [knock knock knock] "Hello, who is it?" "Double 3, 429, guv" "Oh, hang on a minute... Hello sonny Jim Been wondering where you were Did you have a nice Christmas?"
