Rocking In A Flat - Madness

Date of last revision: August 16, 1993

I used to work nights with my dad

It was the best job I ever had

Until them blokes on their bikes came through

Said «Come on down to youth, brother, see what’s new»

Well come on, come on, come on, let’s have some fun tonight

Went to the dance like they said I should

It cost me a bob, but it was quite good

The band were jumpin' and a-jivin' around

Their 20 Watt amps really made a sound

Well come on, come on, come on, let’s have some fun tonight

Well, I’ll have a cup of tea and then I’ll change me name

And I’ll put my records o-ah-o-ah-on

Till all the geezers in the flat complain

«Wish that rockstar bloke was gone» is the moan

Let’s have some fun tonight

Sold all my records and I bought a bike

I found some blokes who would do what I like

I saw the rigger who ran the hall

He said we can rehearse there any time at all

Well come on, come on, come on, let’s have some fun tonight

We’re really rocking now, I’ve got a bird

She says we are the best band she’s ever heard

I’ve got a bike and I’m having a time

But my mum keeps saying «Rock 'n' roll’s a crime!»

Well come on, come on, come on, let’s have some fun tonight

(All right, all night!)

Well come on, come on, come on, let’s have some fun tonight
