You Can't Rock And Roll (In A Council Flat)

When I get home from school
Just to relax, I like to play my music loud
Nothing better than that
But as I get into it and I start to feedback
There comes a knock on my door
That says, "You can't do that"

No, you can't rock 'n roll in a council flat
You can do anything but you can't do that
You can't rock 'n roll in a council flat
Anything's allowed except for that

Well, there used be a rule about dogs and cats
But people found a way around that
So you can walk out and night
And be mauled by a cat
But nobody cares
There's no rules about that

But, you can't rock 'n roll in a council flat
You can do anything but you can't do that
You can't rock 'n roll in a council flat
Anything's allowed except for that
(Jump!)

Well, one sunny afternoon
There came a ratta-tat-tat
Stood a big man in blue
With "Keeper" on his hat
So I wondered what zoo
And was about to ask him that
When he looked kinda stern and said
"You can't do that"

No, you can't rock 'n roll in a council flat
You can do anything but you can't do that
You can't rock 'n roll in a council flat
Anything's allowed except for that

Can't rock 'n roll
(Have you tried it?)
Can't rock 'n roll
(Forget it, mate!)
