  • Sherrif Fatman started out is business as a granny farmer
    He was infamous for fifteen minutes
    And he appeared on Panorama
    Then he somehow got on board a Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme
    With a Prince of Wales Award
    For pushing Valium and amphetamines

    Moving Up on Second Base
    With Nicholas Van what's His Face
    At six foot six
    And 100 Tons
    The undisputed King of the Slums
    With more alias' than Klaus Barbie
    Master Butcher of Leigh on Sea
    Just about to take the stage
    The one and only - hold the front page

    Fatman's got something to sell
    To the Capital's homeless
    A Crossroad's Motel
    For the No Fixed Abodeless
    Where you can live life in style
    If you sleep in a closet
    And if you flash him a smile
    He'll take your teeth as deposit

    There's bats in the belfrey
    The windows are jammed
    The toilet's ain't healthy
    He don't give a damn
    Just chuckles and smiles
    Laughs like a madman
    A born again Rachman
    Here comes Sherrif Fatman

    With his Valium, amphetamines
    Sicknotes and his phoney prescriptions
    Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the kitchen
    Dead heads and cracked heads
    Bunk beds and breakfasts
    Wake up you sleepyheads
    Check this

    Moving up on second base
    With Nicholas Van Whatshis face
    At six foot six
    And 100 tons
    The undisputed King of the Slums
    With more alias' than Klaus Barbie
    The Master Butcher of Leigh on Sea
    Just about to take the stage
    The only and only hold the front page Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
