Title: Rumble In Brighton


written by B. Setzer and J. McDonnell


There's the rockabilly cats with their pomps real high

Wearin' black drape coats, all real gone guys

Cool skinheads with their rolled-up jeans

Lookin' real tough and mighty mean


There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight

There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight


They sew fishhooks under their collars

They got razors in their shoes

I said, 'Go cat go,' their battle cry

World War III is startin' to brew


Now the skinheads all use blackjacks

And they're lookin' mighty mean

They got chains wrapped around their fingers

And their heads are all shaved clean


There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight

There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight


Well, there ain't a man left standin'

So let's all go get a beer

No team is a winner

So we'll see you all next year


There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight

There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight


Rumble in Brighton tonight

Rumble on the beach tonight

Rumble in Brighton tonight

Rumble on the beach tonight


There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do

Line right up for a sideline view

Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
