Und zu guter Letzt - hier noch der geniale Text zum Mitgröhlen:
Haji was a punk just like any other boy
and he never had no trouble till he started up his Oi band,
safe in the garage or singing in the tub,
till Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub.
It was a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins
popped in for a pint and to nick a bag of crisps,
Trevor liked the music, but not the unity,
he unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees.
If God came down on Christmas Day,
I know exactly what he'd say -
he'd say Oi! to the punks and Oi! to the skins
and Oi! to the world and everybody wins!
Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out through the crowd,
he said "we'll meet again, we are bloody yet unbowed",
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet,
Christmas day on the roof down at 20 Oxford street.
If God came down on Christmas Day,
I know exactly what he'd say -
he'd say Oi! to the punks and Oi! to the skins
and Oi! to the world and everybody wins!
On the roof with the nun chucks Trevor broke a lot of bones,
but Haji had a sword like the guy on Indiana Jones...
Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man,
Haji was alone and abandoned by his band,
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate,
when the skins left him there and went down the fire escape,
Oi! Oi!
But then Haji saw the north star shining more than ever,
so he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor,
they rappelled down the roof with the rest of the turban
and went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon.
If God came down on Christmas Day,
I know exactly what he'd say -
he'd say Oi! to the punks and Oi! to the skins
and Oi! to the world and everybody wins!
If God came down on Christmas Day,
I know exactly what he'd say -
he'd say Oi! to the punks and Oi! to the skins
and Oi! to the world and everybody wins!
Oi! Oi!
