Down on the corner under the railway 
I hear the old people saying 
It was better without you babe 
It was better without 

You want to live on Shouting Street 
Watch your Punjabi 
You want to bop it on Shouting Street 
Lay off me Biriani 

Now take my motor - Now that's a bargain 
No M.O.T ans the what sit needs welding 
Tell ya who's a-gonna fix it for you 
Tell ya who's a-gonna fix it for you 

Take it down to Shouting Street 
There'll be a geezer 
He's gotta shack on Shouting Street 
One greasy geezer 

He's got a real sideline from Scandinavia 
Where they understand things of that nature 
Don't a-tell that you got it from him 
Oh don't tell that you got it from him 

Say you got it out on Shouting Street 
Say you found it in the garbage 
Say you got it out on Shouting Street 
Say you got it from Jim Jarmusch 

Let me rock it out on Shouting Street 
Just like Eddie Cochran 
We've see rough boys born of this manor 
Always doing their nuts when they ain't got spanners 

But just you wait till they've been away 
Just you wait till they've been away 
They'll be back down Shouting Street 
Selling lady shavers 

They'll be back on Shouting Street 
They got good behavior 
Oh let me rock it out on Shouting Street 
And borrow money from me neighbors 

Oh let me rick it out on Shouting Street 
In fifty seven flavors
