There was a

lot of rockin' going
on that night

The Saturday night city

beat had already started
and the

Young Billy watched
under the yellow street

lights. he said,
Tonight. of all nights

Billy don't like it livin'

here in this town

Hope bites the dust
behind all the closed
doors. And pus and
grime ooze from its
scab-crusted sores

It's a rat trap Billy, but
you're already caught.
Oh you can make it
if you want to, or you
need it bad enough

It's Saturday night, time
to see what's going
down. Put on a 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
got to be more, you'd
better find a way out

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 comes
alight. And it says
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.

Hey, Billy take a walk
with me

Well. little Judy's

trying to watch
Top of the Pops

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.
Is that any way for a
young girl to be.
I'm gonna get out
of school

Get myself a little easy
money. now-now-now-

n ow- n ow- n ow- n ow-
n ow- n ow

Her mind's made up,

she walks down
the road

But then he mumbles
in his coffee and he

suddenly roars,
It's a rat trap, Judy

And we've been
