Now Kevin sees the incident Politely intervenes
B E
Explains that they're not welcome Quite reasonably, it seems
B E
But the villains then are grinning All across their evil face
B E
Happy at the panic They spread throughout the place
B E
Their breath, it smells of whiskey Their hearts are set on war
B E
But Kevin isn't Harry And Kevin takes no more
B E
And they are looking to him [?]
B E
Four baddies and one goody Well, the odds were hardly fair
B E
Two of them, they hold him down The other two just kick
B E
And people stand there staring Caroline, she's sick
B E
They beat him to a pulp And leave him mangled on the floor
B E
They wiped the smile of his face And Kevin laughed no more

B E
My stomach, it turned over When I saw the state he's in

His eyes were closed and swollen His face was kind of scarred
B E
His mother wouldn't even Recognise him anymore
B E
The rest of us, we want revenge But Kevin makes a vow
B E
We'll meet him in the law court British justice will prevail
B E
So, courtroom confrontation The order of the day

The social worker circus They had their silly say
B E
Have mercy, your honour These boys are really good

They're not really evil No, they're just misunderstood

Your honour was a decent man Who'll make you walk the line
B E
He just gave them ticking off And sixty dollar fine
