VERSE:
A                    D            A
frederick street was on the news tonight
A                    D            E
outside fosters club had been a fight
A                    D            A
and every time you go to dig the beat
A         G          F            E
you will hear a yelp and somebody shouting for help..

CHORUS:
A                           D
hello, hello, hello, hello, whos down there? whos down there? (repeat x2)
E
for the fisticuffs in frederick street
A                                  D                    E                        A (strum A x4)
i don't wanna be, i don't wanna be, you don't wanna be, you don't wanna be there

VERSE:
fosters club was full up to the brim
everybody risking life and limb
and just to go and pose at the disco
but posing wasn't easy and the DJ got queasy blow by blow...

VERSE:
A                    D            A
Everything is silent on frederick street
A                    D            E
a lonely policeman walks the beat
A                    D            A
before long everybody will know
A                    D            E
that fosters club is not the place to go
A                    D            A
unless you want your head kicking in
A         G          F            E
you will year a yelp and somebody shouting for help

CHORUS:
A                           D
hello, hello, hello, hello, whos down there? whos down there? (repeat x2)
E
for the fisticuffs in frederick street
A                                  D                    E                        
i don't wanna be, i don't wanna be, you don't wanna be, you don't wanna be 
A                                  D                    E                        
i don't wanna be, i don't wanna be, you don't wanna be, you don't wanna be there
