The only thing to stop those hooligans
From causing panic in Great Britain
The only thing to stop these Teddy Boys
From causing panic in England
Well I hope that the Government
See they need another kind of punishment
I say one thing to cool down this crime
Is to bring back the old time cat-o-nine
So the old time cat-o-nine beat them bad
And they bound to change their mind
Send them to Dartmoor with licks like fire
And they bound to surrender
The police is working harder and harder
To see this thing go no further
Every night they on duty
To safeguard us from violence and robbery
But they would not stop at all
Peter is going to pay for Paul
I say one thing to cool down this crime
Is to beat them with the old time cat-o-nine
So the old time cat-o-nine lash them hard
And they bound to change their mind
Is to send them to Dartmoor with licks like fire
And they bound to surrender
In the days of Judge Hitchins, as you know
Nothing never happen so
Many man pass under his hand
Can tell you of the rod of correction
He used to treat them meek and mild
He never spare the rod to spoil the child
I say one thing to cool down this crime
Just scratch them with the old time cat-o-nine
So the old time cat-o-nine beat them bad
And they bound to change their mind
Is to send them to Dartmoor with licks like fire
And they bound to surrender
And every night they walking about in a band
Attacking woman and man
Is seems as though they have no respect on a person
Beating innocent people
But the judge and jury
Can settle this thing easily
I say the cat is the only H-bomb to drop
And this "Robustness" must stop
So the old time cat-o-nine lash them bad
And they bound to change their mind
Send them to Dartmoor with licks like fire
And they bound to surrender
