Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 policeman

Would never have happened to Smeaton

An Old Leodensian

[PreChorus]

La-ah-ah, la-la-la-la-la-la

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

[Chorus]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

[Verse 2]

I tried to get to my taxi

The man in a tracksuit attacks me

He said that he saw it before me

And wants to get things a bit gory

Girls scrabble 'round with no clothes on

To borrow a pound for a condom

If it wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen

They're not very sensible

[PreChorus]

La-ah-ah, la-la-la-la-la-la

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

[Chorus]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

[Verse 3]

Watching the people get lairy

It's not very pretty I tell thee

Walking through town is quite scary

And not very sensible

[PreChorus]

La-ah-ah, la-la-la-la-la-la

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

[Chorus]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

[Outro]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot
