The shambles are a shambles Crooks and crafters hanging from the rafters With the beat and the bangles Oh bojangles shirks and shouts from all of the angles Masses on mass go past Head down walk fast This is where we live too Let the ladies and children through I'm struggling help me along Hold my hand while I sing you my song I'm struggling help me along Hold my hand while I sing my song for you Tearing through St. Anne's square Policeman down no one cares Tearing through St. Anne's square Policeman down no one cares Tearing through St. Anne's square Policeman down no one cares Tearing through St. Anne's square Policeman down no one cares The shambles were a shambles Crooks and crafters hanging from the rafters With the beat and the bangles Oh bojangles shirks and shouts from all of the angles I'm struggling help me along Hold my hand while I sing you my song I'm struggling help me along Hold my hand while I sing my song for you
