[Verse 1]
In the rosy parks of England, we'll sit and have a drink
Of VP wine and cider 'til we can hardly think
And we'll go where the spirits take us, to heaven or to hell
And kick up bloody murder in the town we love so well

[Chorus 1]
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
From the dear old streets of King's Cross
To the doors of the ICA
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
We'll drink the rat's piss, kick the shite
And I ain't going home tonight (yip-ay-yay, yip-ay-yay)

[Verse 2]
From Brixton's lovely boulevards to Hammersmith's sightly shores
We'll scare the Camden Palace poofs and worry all the whores
There's lechers up in Whitehall, there's queers in the GLC
And when we've done those bastards in, we'll storm the BBC

[Chorus 2]
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
From Surrey Docks to Somers Town
With a KMRIA
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
We'll drink the rat's piss, kick the shite
And I'm not going home tonight (yip-ay-yay, yip-ay-yay)
[Verse 3]
From a five-pound bet in William Hill's to a Soho sex-shop dream
From a fried egg in Valtaro's to a Tottenham Court Road ice cream
We'll spew and lurch, get nicked and fixed, on the way we'll kill and maim
When you haven't got a penny, boys, it's all the bloody same

[Chorus 3]
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
From Pentonville Road on a sunset eve
To the beauty that's Mill Lane
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
We'll drink the rat's piss, kick the shite
And I'm not going home tonight (yip-ay-yay, yip-ay-yay)

[Verse 4]
This town has done us dirty, this town has bled us dry
We've been here for a long time and we'll be here 'til we die
So we'll finish off the leavings of blood and glue and beer
And burn this bloody city down in the summer of the year

[Chorus 4]
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
From Arlington House with a two-bob bit
To the Scottish shores today
Going transmetropolitan (yip-ay-yay)
We'll drink the rat's piss, kick the shite
And I'm not going home tonight (yip-ay-yay, yip-ay-yay, yip-ay-yay)
