Mugshots, mugshots

Mugshots, mugshots



I was just a lonely boy

Every day a different toy

I fell in love with Hubcap Jenny

And she fell in love with me



She taught me how to steal a car

And sling a brick

She taught me what the coppers are

And how and where to kick 'em

Mugshots

I'm taking her advice

Mugshots

'Cos Hubcap Jenny's nice



I was just an only child

Running free and running wild

But I stole one hubcap too many

And the law came down on me



They taught me how to give salutes

And take some stick

To know the sound of policeman's boots

And now and then to lick 'em

They taught me how to sleep at night

In the lion's den

Forget about the dynamite

And dream of Hubcap Jenny



Shoot 'em in black and white

Bring me the prints tonight

I know, you know there's a mug in the shot!



Mugshots

"Where were you on the night in question?"

Mugshots

"I was home in bed M'Lord"

Mugshots

"I submit that last suggestion"

Mugshots

"Puts him in contempt of court"

Mugshots

"I'd give you proof but there isn't any"

Mugshots

"And there my lord I rest my case"

Mugshots

"There's no such girl as Hubcap Jenny"

Mugshots

"We have no record of her face in the mugshots"



Shoot 'em in black and white

Bring me the prints tonight

I know you know there's a mug in the shot!

Give me a hint of style

Give me "The Kray Profile"

I know you know there's a mug in the shot
