Walkin' down the King's Road,
E A
I see so many faces
A
They came from many places
A E
They come down for the day
E
They walk around together
E A
And try and look trendy
A
I think it's a shame
A E
That they all look the same
[Chorus]
E
Here they come

The part time punks!
[Verse]
Then they go to Rough Trade
To buy Siouxsie and the Banshees
They heard John Peel play it
Just the other night
They'd like to buy the O Level single
or read about Seymour
But they're not pressed in red
So they buy The Lurkers instead
[Chorus]
E
Here they come
E A

The part time punks!
[Verse]
They play their records very loud
They pogo in the bedroom
In front of the mirror
But only when their mum's gone out
They pay five pence on the buses
And they never use toothpaste
But they got two fifty to go and see The Clash
Tonight!
