There was a lot of rocking going on that night Cruising time for the young bright lights Just down past the gasworks by the meat factory door The five lamp boys were coming on strong The Saturday night city beat had already started and the The punks the corner boys just sprang into action And young Billy watched under the yellow street light And said tonight of all nights there’s gonna be a fight Billy don’t like it living here in this town (He says) Traps have been sprung long before he was born (He says) Hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors And pus and grime ooze from its scab-crusted sores There’s screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks It’s a rat trap Billy but you’re already caught And you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough You’re young and good-looking and you’re acting kind of tough Anyway it’s Saturday night time to see what’s going down Put on the right suit Billy head for the right side of town It’s only eight o’clock but you’re already bored You don’t know what it is but there’s got to be more You’d better find a way out hey kick down that door It’s a rat trap and you’ve been caught In this town Billy says everybody’s trying to tell you what to do In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules You walk up to the traffic lights You switch from your left to your right You push in that button and that button throws a light and it says Walk don’t walk walk don’t walk Talk don’t talk talk don’t talk Walk don’t walk walk don’t walk Talk don’t talk talk don’t talk Hey! Billy take walk take walk take walk Billy take walk take walk take walk Billy take walk take walk take walk BILLY! take a walk with meee! [Solo] Well little Judy’s tryin’ to watch Top Of The Pops but Mum an’ Dad are fighting don’t they ever stop She takes up her coat and walks down to the street It’s cold on that road but it’s got that home beat Deep down in her pocket she finds 50p Hey is that anyway for a young girl to be I gonna get out of school work in some factory Oh with all the hours god gave me Get myself a little easy money an na na na na na na na na na na. Her minds made up she walks down the road Hands in her pockets coat buttoned against the cold She finally finds Billy down the Italian café When he’s drunk it’s hard to understand what Billy Says But then he mumbles in his coffee and he suddenly roars IT’S A RAT TRAP JUDY AND WE’VE BEEN CAUGHT!
