[G] There was a lot of rockin' goin' [E] on that night.
[Dm] _ [G] Cruisin' time [E] for all the young _ [D] bradelates.
[G] Down at the Odeon by [E] the meat factory [C] door, the five-lamb boys were comin' on [G] strong.
The Saturday Night City beat [Em] had already [G] started and the punks in the corner [Em] boys sprang into [G] action.
Nobody watched it [Em] on the yellow streetlights except [C] tonight.
_ [D] I've always [E] _ just gone to be afraid.
_ _ _ [G] _
Billy don't like it livin' [Em] here in this town.
[G] He said, traps haven't sprung [Em] round before he was born.
[G] He said, old bikes fit just [Em] behind all the closed [G] doors.
I'm _ oozin' [Em] from a staff of guitar.
[C] They're screamin' and cryin' in the high-rise block.
[G] It's a rap track, Billy, [D] but you're already caught.
Hey, [Em] you can make it if you wanna, or you need a side of [C] love.
So you're a good-lookin' and you're actin' kinda dumb.
[G] Anyway, it's Saturday night.
[D] Let's see what's goin' down.
Put on the right suit, Billy, and hop it up.
Right side of [C] town.
It's only eight o'clock, but you're already barred.
You don't [G] know what it is, but [D] there's gotta be more.
[E] You better find a way out.
Hey, kick down that door.
[C] It's a rap track, _ [D] _ and [E] you've been caught. _ _ _ _ _

In this town, Billy sells.
Everybody [Em] tries to tell ya what to do. _ _ _ _ _
In this town, [E] Billy sells.
Everybody says you [Em] gotta buy the room.
_ _ _ You [Am] walk up to the traffic light.
Switch from your left to your right.
You push in the button, and the [Bm] button comes to light.
[D] And this is walk, _ _ walk, walk.
Hey, [Em] Billy, talk, _ _ talk, talk.
[D] Walk, walk, walk, walk.

Her mind's made up, [A] she walks down the [D] road
Her hands in a pot, the [B] coat's stuck against the pole
[Em] She finally finds Billy down at the [A] Italian cafe
[C] When he's drunk it's hard to understand
Why Billy sells [G] the Billy Mutt move
In his coffee and [D] he's suddenly wrong
[E] It's a rat trap!
_ _ And [G] you've been caught! _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Life [Em] is a rat trap, _ [G] rat trap
_ You ain't caught [Em] in a rat trap
_ You've been caught in a rat trap
_ You've been caught in a rat trap
_ You've been caught in a rat trap
_ You've been caught [Em] in a rat trap
You've been caught
[A] _
