Oh, watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a police man
Would never have happened to Smeaton an old Leodiensian

Ah ah, ah la, la, la, la, la, la ah, ah
Ah ah, ah la, la, la, la, la, la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

Oh, I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacks me
He said that he saw it before me
He wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible

Ah ah, ah la, la, la, la, la, la ah, ah
Ah ah, ah la, la, la, la, la, la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
Who that doesn't want to be out there oh

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

Oh, watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either

Ah ah, ah la, la, la, la, la, la ah, ah
Ah ah, ah la, la, la, la, la, la oh oh oh

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
Who that doesn't want to be out there

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
