The Boys Of Mutton Street Lyrics - Richard Thompson

Strolling down on Mutton Street 

The moon is peeping through 

Old wives say, Young Man, you; d better 

Watch your Ps and Qs 

But life is good on Mutton Street 

If you know the why and where 

Romping on the bombsites 

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 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 

It 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 

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're the boys of Mutton Street 

Mutton Street, Mutton Street 

We're the boys of Mutton Street 

We give no ground
