Wide Boy

Baggy suit and flashy tie, blue of knuckle, red of eye
He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
He’d sell his mother for a quid, rumour has it that he did
He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
He used to be his father’s pride, 'til he spent a year inside
He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground
Iron fists, a head like a boulder — a friend like that is good to have around!
At the club he’s set to pounce, girls to chat and boys to bounce
He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
Oy!
Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground
Iron fists, a head like a boulder — a friend like that is good to have around!
(Wide boy), wanna buy a stereo?
(Wide boy), heard you got a truckload!
(Wide boy), need a color TV too
(Wide boy), I’m in a spot of trouble
I need assistance at the double
(Wide boy), it’s good to have a friend like you
Never rich and never poor, (never poor)
Just a step outside the law, (outside the law)
He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
