THERE WAS A LOTTA
ROCKIN' GOIN' ON THAT NIGHT
CRUISIN' TIME FOR THE
YOUNG BRIGHT LIGHTS
JUST DOWN PAST THE GASWORKS
BY THE MEAT FACTORY DOOR
THE FIVE LAMP BOYS
WERE COMIN' ON STRONG
THE SATURDAY NIGHT CITY
BEAT HAD ALREADY STARTED
AND THE, THE PULSE
OF THE CORNER BOYS
JUST SPRANG INTO ACTION AND
YOUNG BILLY WATCHED IT
UNDER YELLOW STREET LIGHT
AND SAID TONIGHT
OF ALL NIGHTS
THERE'S GONNA BE A FIGHT
BILLY DON'T LIKE IT
LIVIN' HERE IN THIS TOWN
THE TRAPS HAVE BEEN SPRUNG
LONG BEFORE HE WAS BORN
HOPE BITES THE DUST
BEHIND ALL THE CLOSED DOORS
AND PUS AND GRIME OOZE
FROM ITS SCAB-CRUSTED SORES
THERE'S SCREAMIN' AND CRYIN'
IN THE HIGH RISE BLOCKS
IT'S A RAT TRAP, BILLY
BUT YOU'RE ALREADY CAUGHT
A-YOU CAN MAKE IT
IF YOU WANNA OR
YOU NEED IT BAD ENOUGH
YOU'RE YOUNG
AND GOOD LOOKIN'
AND YOU'RE ACTIN' KINDA TOUGH
ANYWAY IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT
TIME TO SEE WHAT'S GOIN' DOWN
PUT ON THE BRIGHT 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 GOTTA 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 TRY'NA
TELL YA WHAT TO DO
IN THIS TOWN BILLY SAYS
EVERYBODY SAYS
YOU'VE 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 COMES ALIGHT
AND IT'S WALK
WALK
TALK
TALK
WALK
WALK
TALK
TALK
HEY BILLY, TAKE A WALK
TAKE A WALK, TAKE A WALK
BILLY, TAKE A WALK
TAKE A WALK, TAKE A WALK
BILLY, TAKE A WALK
TAKE A WALK, TAKE A WALK
HEY BILLY...
TAKE A WALK WITH ME
WELL, LITTLE JUDY'S TRY'NA
WATCH TOP OF THE POPS
BUT MUM AND DAD
ARE FIGHTING
DON'T THEY EVER STOP
SHE TAKES OFF 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'M GONNA GET OUT OF SCHOOL
WORK IN SOME FACTORY
WORK ALL THE HOURS
GOD GAVE ME, GET MYSELF
A LITTLE EASY MONEY
NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA
HER MIND'S MADE UP
SHE WALKS DOWN THE ROAD
HER HANDS IN HER POCKETS
COAT BUTTONED
'GAINST THE COLD
SHE FINALLY FINDS BILLY
DOWN AT THE ITALIAN CAFE
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
