 (Spoken):
  Court  in session. What do you mean; "Oi, oi, oi"?
 Must have court in session. Order.
 (Spoken over ):
 My name is Judge Roughneck,
 And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom.
 Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me,
 And charged with smashing this woman's window.
 Before I sentence you; what have you got to say in your defence?
 I was walking  down the street,  one night,
 When I saw  her silhouette in a bathroom light.
 Her way of life, baby; nothing  to hide,
 With her frosted  glass shattered curtains open wide.
 Naked woman, naked man,
 Where did you get  that nice  sun-tan?
 You live  in a castle built  of sand,
 Naked woman, naked man.
  Naked  from your bath, you go naked to your bed.
 And I can't stop the hatred running through my head.
 (Spoken over ):
 Silence in court. Order.
 Rude boy, you have led me to believe,
 That you was going out with a girl,
 And she left you and married someone else.
 So you got drunk and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property.
 I have come to one conclusion;
 That is to sentence you to five months in prison.
 Before they take you down to the cells,
 What have you got to say for yourself?
 He wanted  to be something, but she knows  he never will.
 She's got  him where she wanted and for-got  to take her pill.
 And he thinks  that she'll be happy when she's hanging  out the nappies,
 If that's  a happy marriage; I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
 Married woman, married man,
 Where did you get  that family plan?
 Mrs. Ewe  and Mr. Ram,
 Where did you get  that lovely lamb?
 (Half Time):
 Naked woman, naked  man,
 Where did you get that nice  suntan? (Order in my courtroom!)
 Naked woman, naked  man,
 Where did you get that nice  suntan? (Hush up!)
 (Increase Tempo):
 Naked woman, naked  man,
 Where did you get that nice  suntan?
 Naked woman, naked  man,
 Where did you get that nice  suntan?
 Naked woman, naked  man,
 Where did you get that nice  suntan?
 Naked woman, naked  man,
 Where did you get that nice  suntan?
  Naked  woman, naked man, where did you get that nice sun-tan?
 (Take him away!).
