blaze of the borough

Singer:toy dolls

jimmy's running short o' cash

the bar takings have took a crash

jimmy can't think what to do

the bills in from the local brewery oi!

jim's a nutcase round the twist

jimmy is an arsonist

jimmy thinks nowt of the cost

and sets alight to his own hostelry

flames grow high

in the blaze of the borough

jimmy fried in the blaze of the borough

the blaze of the borough

hey!

windows cracked and bottles broke

the bar and lounge were full o' smoke

things would soon look bright n' sunny

when jim claims the insurance money back

oi! jimmy's a crackpot

he forgot

he was trapped inside

the clot

a ring of flames with jimmy in the middle

he'd cocked up his insurance fiddleo

flames grow high

in the borough oh

flames grow high

jimmy fried

in the borough oh

oh yes he fried
