Early '80s song I assume? |

I want to be a Skinhead like my Dad Doing everything he does that's bad When I get the Blues I'll smash the sinks off the the walls in the loos I want to be a skinhead like my dad Saturday is football time we all go down to the match I always take my razor just in case I want a slash But take a tip from me , dont let your Granny stand and look Unless she wants her handbag pinched , and her pension book Cos I want to be a skinhead lke my dad Doing everything he does that's bad There's my mate called Jeff throwing housebricks at the ref I want to be a skinhead like my dad When we go to the movies we wear our built up shoes And half of us pay to get in while the rest come through the loos If the usherette should see us we really do not care We pour cold orange down her vest and rub Choc Ice in her hair Cos I want to be a skinhead like my dad Doing everything he does that's bad Tere's my mate called Pete Slashing all the seats I want to be a skinhead like my dad On Friday night its Disco time , we really dig this stuff We groove to Reggae Music and my favourites called green puff The other night we had a rave , the Fuzz came with their dogs And so we got our spray cans out and sloganised the bogs Cos I want to be a skinhead like my dad Doing everything he does that's bad All these mates of mine'll smash up your urinal I want to be a skinhead like my dad Well I like nature best at school learning how we all survive And I like squashing worms and things and pulling the wings off flies We learn about the cavemen and how they lived on grubs And how they used to woo their wives by bashing them with clubs I want to be a skinhead like my dad Doing everything he does that's bad I've learned to run much faster since I filled in the headmaster I want to be a skinhead like my dad And when its time to go to bed and I climb up them stairs My head will hit the pillow and I'll forget my worldly cares I'll dream of rape and plunder , on destruction dreams I'll thrive But my dad says "You cant be a skin when you're only five!" But I'll grow up and be a skinhead like my dad Doing everything he does that's bad He'll know when I'm ready , cos I'll pulverise my Teddy Then I'll be a skinhead like my dad And smash my Doll's House Yes then I'll be a skinhead like my dad |

An interesting piece of history -- for me , once a skinhead, but not at all like this! I mostly just grooved to reggae (still do) and left the rest to the wanna-be tough guys. This is more the Richard Allen pulp fiction caricature, but entertaining nonetheless! In a few years, this song could be updated in Los Angeles, where most of the the current skinheads are fun-loving Mexican guys and gals who are having kids. |
