Jimmy's running short o' cash, the bar takings have took a crash Jimmy can't think what to do, the bills in from the local breweryyyy Oi! Jim's a nutcase round the twist, Jimmy is an arsenist Jimmy thinks nowt of the cost & sets alight to his own hosterlryyyyy [Chorus:] FLAMES GROW HIGH, IN THE BLAZE OF THE BOROUGH JIMMY FRIED. IN THE BLAZE OF THE BOROUGH THE BLAZE OF THE BOROUGH HEY! Windows cracked & bottles broke, the bar & lounge were full o' smoke
Things would soon look bright n' sunny when Jim claims the insurance money back Oi! Jimmy's a crackpot, he forgot, he was trapped inside, the clot A ring of flames with Jimmy in the middle, he'd co*ked up his insurance fiddleoo [Chorus]... [Guitar Bit] FLAMES GROW HIGH. flames grow high, IN THE BOROUGH OHHHHH JIMMY FRIED. Oh yes he fried, IN THE BOROUGH OHHHHH [Chorus]
