George looks gorgeous in pinstripes

Pocket handkerchief and cravat

Swaggering out of the band on the

Wall in a burgundy homberg hat

Singing ratatatay ratatatay ratatatay ratatatay george

After-hours and the worse for whisky

When somebody shouts hey you in

A pitch-black manchester backstreet

Well what's a poor singer to do but

Sing ratatatay ratatatay ratatatay ratatatay two men

Flashing a knife blade saying give us

Your notes and your watch singing

The backstreet stand-off to the rhythm

Of the fear and the scotch

George not

Wanting to feel the knife cornered

And speeding and scared from the

Back of his mind comes ursonate

Sound and fury and words he sings

Ratatatay ratatatay

Ratatatay ratatatay

Ratatatay ratatatay

Ratatatay ratatatay

So the robbers

Are stuck to the spot now watching

George as he sings for his life menace

Turns to panic and they turn and run

And the song waves goodbye to the

Knife singing ratatatay ratatatay

Ratatatay ratatatay

Ratatatay ratatatay

Ratatatay ratatatay

Ratatatay ratatatay
