Dedicated to Albie.

lyrics

BABYLON DON
This three colour collar
Cost me a duller dollar
Stick it on… Babylon Don
Win some, lose some
Grin some, booze some
This round's on… Babylon Don

Babylon Don - reaching his peak
Babylon Don - he's here all week
Babylon Don - he's going to speak
Take it down, take it in
Brixton Nick knows where he's been
Now everything's irie, mon
With Babylon Don

His front: posh, ambitious
He's back: washing dishes
Rinse and shine on… Babylon Don
Kit for the smirking classes:
Git your leather sunglasses
Puttin' 'em on… Babylon Don

Babylon Don - reaching his peak
Babylon Don - he's here all week
Babylon Don - he's going to speak
Rip it up, rip it off
He sneeze, we cough
The naked truth is there’s nothing on
Babylon Don

Sniff that whiff - of here-aftershave
Mixed with spliff-smoke rising from his grave
Pass it on… it’s Babylon Don

Playing dead on the sofa
Spent bread, a jammy loafer
He’s toast, garçon… Babylon Don
By day: a pasty face-ster
By night: a tasty waster
Merci, bon… Babylon Don

Babylon Don - burning in the shades
Babylon Don - a blaze of razorblades
Babylon Don - see white straights fade
Take it up, take it in
Smarten out that stupid grin
Wipe it off and get it on
With Babylon Don

Sniff that whiff - of here-aftershave
Mixed with spliff-smoke rising from his grave
Pass it on… it’s Babylon Don

Words & Music: Paul Hamilton, Dave Pope & Andy Thomson, 2016.
