Busking - Pig with the Face of a Boy

We like to busk on the Underground

We stand in a corner right here

But the licensing men in some office

They come and they just interfere

They’re censoring all of our lyrics

It’s such a remarkable thing

They give us some new words each morning

And here’s what they’re making us sing

Don’t leave your bags unattended

Please let passengers get off the train before boarding

Services on the Bakerloo line are suspended

And don’t commit crime because CCTV is recording

The roof at Embankment is in an unstable condition

You are advised to seek out an alternative route

If you notice a person whose actions give you suspicion

And you think that he looks a bit foreign then please do not shoot

They took us up into some office and here’s the advice that they gave

We need songs to enhance peoples' safety

And make the commuters behave

Please mind the gap and the pickpockets here at the station

No flash photography, please put out your cigarette

When the weather is hot, avoid dehydration

But surfaces may become slippery when it is wet

If you notice a chemical smell and you’re next to a man

And he’s shouting and praying to Allah and acting berserk

Remain where you are and keep as calm as you can

There’s a very good chance that his bomb doesn’t actually work

There’s a very good chance that his bomb doesn’t actually work
