When first I came to London In the year of 39 The city looked so wonderful and the girls were so Divine But the coppers got suspicious and they soon gave me the knock I was charged with being the owner of an old alarm clock Well next morning down by Marlborough Street I caused no little stir The I.R.A were busy and a telephone did burr Says the judge I’m going to charge you with the possession of this machine. And I’m also going to charge you with the wearing of the Green Well says I to him your honor if you give me half a chance I’ll show you how me small machine can make the peelers dance Well it ticks away politely ’till you get an awful shock And it ticks away the gellignite on me old alarm clock O the judge says listen here my man and I’ll tell you of a plan For you and all your countrymen I do net give a damn Well the only time you’ll take is mine ten years in Dartmoor dock And you can count it by the ticking of your old alarm clock. Well this lonely Dartmoor City would put many in the jigs The cell it isn’t pretty and it isn’t very big Sure long ago I’d have left the place if I had only got Ah me couple of sticks of gelignite and me old alarm clock
