A sorting office in the Old Kent Road
caters from coast to most
a nice little number
if you’re out of work
and aren’t the sort to boast
if you’re in need of a job
rob a job bob a job
I’m you’re man to see
I’ll sit I’ll listen
I’ll not say a word
the less said will be best for we

Ooo ooo what a firm of naughty boys
Ooo ooo I’ve been a naughty boy

We don’t want to mark each others cards
except the one you’ll need
I need you and your return
to help build my company
my twins work Brighton
on a sunny day
they cover town
with a shake of a hand
on a high come back
cos’of no comeback
now their working in the promised land

Ooo ooo what a pair of naughty boys
Ooo ooo I’ve been a naughty boy

Temporarily out of bounds
had to move the office clear out of town
for every problem there’s a solution
and I can do without constitution
dealing cards from up the old Kent Road
I’ve been checked for a heavy load
you can go but be back soon
I’ll have some work for you to do

Ooo ooo what a lot of naughty boys
Ooo ooo I’ve been a naughty boy
