[Way down, way down
In Alphabet Town
There's a deal going down today
There’s a deal going down in Alphabet Town
And the wolves come out to play]
Now, they call him The Captain
He's such a bulletproof guy
He's been shot five times
But he’ll never say die
He wears a stone in his left ear
He wears a skull in his tie
You might think of taking him
But you better not try
[Chorus x2]
The Captain's girl, his sugar-pink blonde
Who goes by the name of ‘Snowdrop'
Well she sits in the car and waits for her man
And watches the fuzz at the bus stop
Then along comes "Sweet" as he's known on the street
With a look in his eye that leaves no doubt
That the C D's coming, another deal's gone down
Ten thousand voices all shout
[Chorus x2]
With your World War III
And your ABC
And your C, and D
Well you don't fool me
With your World War III
And your ABC
And your C, and D
Well you don't fool me!
[Chorus x2]
Uh say there what happening...you don’t?
Well you better get out of my face
Cause something’s going down and
I want to get me some
[Chorus x2, fade out]
