Baggy suit and flashy tie, blue of knuckle, red of eye,
|
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
|
|
He'd sell his mother for a quid, rumour has it that he did,
|
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
|
|
He used to be his father's pride, 'til he spent a year inside,
|
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
|
|
Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground,
|
Iron fists, a head like a boulder - a friend like that is good to have around!
|
|
At the club he's set to pounce, girls to chat and boys to bounce,
|
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
|
Oy!

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground,

|
|
(Wide boy), wanna buy a stereo?
|
(Wide boy), heard you got a truckload!
|
(Wide boy), need a color TV too.
|
|
(Wide boy), I'm in a spot of trouble,
|
I need assistance at the double,
|
(Wide boy), it's good to have a friend like you.
|
|
Never rich and never poor, (never poor)
|
Just a step outside the law, (outside the law)
|
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy,
|
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy,
|
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
