A5 , G5 , D5 , A5

A5             G5
Unemployments rising
       D5              A5
In the Chigley end of town
         A5                 G5
And it's speading like pneumonia;
        D5                A5
Doesn't look like going down.
        A5               G5
There's trouble at the fire station;
D5                 A5
Someone's had the sack.
        A5              G5
And the lads have organised a scheme
       D5        A5
To get rid of Captain Flack.

C5 , A5 , G5 , D5 , A5 , C5 , A5 , G5 , D5 , A5

Tell PC McGarry
To get himself a mate.
And arm themselves with C.S.Gas
They're gonna be out late.
We've had Kant conformism since 1966.
And now subversions in the air
In the shape of flying bricks!

C5

F5
Someone get a message through
   C5
To Captain Snort
          E5
That they better start assembling
    A5
The boys from the fort.
F5                  C5
Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
               E5
'Cause there's gonna be riot
        A5
Down in Trumpton Tonight.


A5 , G5 , D5 , A5

All this aristocracy
Has really got to stop.
We'll overthrow the surgery
And kidnap Doctor Mop
And Chigley Militant Socialists
Will storm the market square
And make plans to assasinate
Our autocratic mayor!

Windy Militant rages past
With Corn grinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails
They smash the town hall door.
But Snorty and the boys arrive
With one big erstwhile crew
Whereupon they bring about
A military coup.

Chorus
