letra de the oul' alarm clock - dominic behan

[verse 1]
when first i went to london in the year of ’39
the city looked so wonderful, the girls were so divine
but the coppers got suspicious and they soon gave me the knock
i was charged with being the owner of an oul’ alarm clock

[verse 2]
next mornin’ down by marylebone i caused no little stir
the arp were busy and the telephones did whirr
said the judge “i’m going to charge you with the possession of this machine
and i’m also going to charge you with the wearing of thе green”
[verse 3]
i said to him “your honour, will you give me half a chance
to show you how mе small machine can make the police dance
it ticks away politely ’til you get an awful shock
when it ticks away the gelignite in me oul’ alarm clock”

[verse 4]
the judge he takes a look at me, and says “see here my man
for you and all your country i do not give a d-mn
and the only time you’ll take is mine: ten years in dartmoor dock
you can count it by the ticking of your old alarm clock”

[verse 5]
the cell it isn’t pretty and it isn’t very big
this lonely dartmoor city would put many in the jigs
i’d long ago have left the place if i had only got
me couple of sticks of gelignite and me oul’ alarm clock
