JUST NEAR HOMERTON
IN THE HACKNEY DOWN
ONE MORNING IN JULY
OUT OF HER BRAIN
COMES A FOXY DAME
AND I SMILED
AS SHE PASSED ME BY
WELL SHE LOOKED SO NEAT
FROM HER PARA-BOOT FEET
TO THE SHAPE
OF HER DREADLOCKED HAIR
IT WAS ECSTASY
WHEN SHE LOOKED AT ME
WAS I REALLY STANDING THERE

AND FROM ISLINGTON
DOWN SOUTH TO BRIXTON
AND FROM LEYTON
TO SOMMERS TOWN
NO GIRL HAVE I SEEN
THAT SQUAT BOYS DREAM
SHE'S THE STAR OF HACKNEY DOWNS

I WAS WELL SPED
I WAS OUT OF MY HEAD
AND I GAZED WITH A LETCHY STARE
THEN I SAID TO A PASSER BY
WHO'S THE CHICK
WITH THE DREADLOCKED HAIR
HE LOOKED AT ME
WITH A SMILE AND SAID
I'VE SEEN HER HANGING AROUND
THAT'S YOUNG ROSIE MCANN
BUT NOW SHE SQUATS
ON HACKNEY DOWNS

SHE'S SOFT BROWN EYES
AND A LOOK SO SHY
FROM HER SMILE
YOU TELL SHE WAS DRUNK
AND I WAS LIVING ON EACH KNOT
FOR HER LILLY WHITE THROAT
AS SHE SCREAMED OUT
SOME HARD CORE PUNK
IN THE FRONT OF THE DANCE
I GOT BASHED TO A TRANCE
SO I REACTED BACK
AND OH I TOOK A SWIG
AND HER EYES SHE'S ROLL
AND IT COERCED MY SOUL
WHEN SHE SCREAMED
f___ THE PIGS!

WELL I MOVED ON A BIT
AND I'VE BEEN HIT
SINCE MY SQUATTING CAREER BEGAN
BUT FAIR AND SQUARE
I SURRENDERED THERE
TO THE CHARMS OF
YOUNG ROSY McANN
SHE FOUND A FLAT TO LET
THAT HAD NO TENANT YET
WITH A CROW BAR SHE WENT DOWN
IN SHE WENT AND SAID f___ THE RENT
AND SHE'S SQUATTING IN HACKNEY DOWNS

AT STRAWBERRY FAIR
YOU KNOW I WAS THERE
THERE WAS A WOMAN
WHO WAS SELLING CLOTHES
I CAUGHT HER EYE SHE SAID HI
I SAID I'M PADDY SHE SAID SHE WAS ROSE
A PIPE WAS SMOKED
AND WE BOTH HAD A TOKE
TIL THE WHOLE PLACE
WAS SPINNING ROUND
I CRASHED IN THE VAN
WITH A COUPLE OF CANS
AND THE STAR OF HACKNEY DOWNS
