'We ain't no woodentops ...'

lyrics

____________________________________
we chase them round the houses
we are the cats, they are the mouses
we ain’t no woodentops
we’re a cut above the other cops
guess who-woo-woo?
DS DC DI

Old DS, he knows the score
and he won’t lift a finger
no witnesses or smoking gun
for him the case is over
before it’s begun

we chase them round the houses
we are the cats, they are the mouses
we ain’t no woodentops
we’re a cut above the other cops
Na-na-na-na-na-na-woo-woo-woo
DS DC DI

Keen DC, young and full of soul
bobs his little head about
like a bladder on a pole
Go on tiger, try to make ‘im sing’
‘Sorry Guv: he won’t tell me anyfing
I said “start talking buddy, or I’ll punch you in your teef”
But he says nuffing except “where’s my brief?” ‘

we chase them round the houses
we are the cats, they are the mouses
we ain’t no woodentops
DS DC DI

a cut above
we are the best
we like the hunt
and the arrest

we’re in the squad
we like a bung
we like fisticuffs and handicuffs; and a liddle hanky-panky


Dapper DI has eyes for Sally and her seduction
is that his suffocating aftershave
or the smell of corruption? He says:
‘Rocco, Rocco, give us Mr B
and we’ll find some poor sap to take the rap
and let you go free’

we chase them round the houses
we are the cats, they are the mouses
we ain’t no woodentops
we’re a cut above the other cops
and we'll be there when the music stops
DS DC DI

Oddlyvalid London, UK

Born in south London one lunchtime, two became five, then four, then two, sometimes three.

Now we are four again, one in each corner. As odd and as valid as we ever were.
