Petty (Thief) Lout

Up the drain pipe

Rapid he did sprout

[Grey templates on us] he had to inflict

TV documentary that it produced



When he whistled in the street

The men would turn around in fear

Of being thought effete



Petty thief lout



Up the drain pipe

Rapid he did sprout

Crime



Hides records in his drawer at home

Especially when they are rare

Never gives 'em out to every Tom Dick & Harry

Who stole before from petty thief lout



Un the drain pipe

Rapid he did sprout

[Grey templates on us] he had to inflict



Suburbia holds

more than you care for



One must make sure

When leaving the house

Never to have white powder on the nose about



F-prints

F-prints on the fingers

Sprout



Great tempus onus

Suburbia holds more than you care for



Petty thief lout
