Here is the clock, the Trumpton clock, telling the time steadily, sensibly, never too quickly,
never too slowly, [G#] telling the time for [A] Trumpton.
[A]
Elevate!
Unemployment's rising in New Zealand and the town,
It's spreading like pneumonia, doesn't look like no endow.
There's trouble at the fire station, someone's had the sack,
And the lads are going to launch, the schemes get re-attempted black.

Tell PC [D] McGarry to get [A] himself a mate,
And arm [G] themselves with CS [A] cap, they're going to be out late.
We've had tank conformism since 1966,
And now [G] subversives in the [A] air, they're safer flying bricks.
[C]
[F] Someone [Dm] get a message [Am] through to Captain Snort,
That they'd better start assembling, the [A] boys love the Fords,
And keep [Dm] this honeymoon [D] right [A] out of sight,
Because [Em] there's going to be a riot down [A] in Trumpton tonight.
[G] [D] [A]

All this aristocracy has really got to stop,
They could over-blow the surgery and kidnap up the mob.
Then should we mention socialists could storm the market square,
And make plans to assassinate our autocrat of the mayor.

Windy militant leagues is masked like corn grinders to war,
With windowsills and bombs for nails, they smash the town o'erboard.
Snorty and his boys arrive with one big air-flare crew,
Whereupon they bring about a military coup.

That [E] they'd better start assembling, [A] the boys love the [F] Fords,
