Standard (EADGBE)

/////// x 2

Kids are playing gangster wars

 They don't believe in Santa Claus

 The baseball bats are soft of course

 The blood is just tomato sauce

 As icebergs go it's just the tip

 The start of the apprenticeship

 A short sharp Glasgow kiss me quick

Karate chop and Kung Fu kick

 And in the wings the grannies wait

doing things that grannies hate

Queuing to accumulate

 A pittance from the welfare state

 Then back home on a forty four

Put the chain on, lock the door

Cross another five bar gate

Sit and wait

Chorus

Don't open the door

 Don't talk to strangers

 You've not met before

 Your guardian angel

 Will watch over you

 If your guardian angel

 Has got nothing to do

 In space no one can hear you scream

 Because no one's really listening

 Saint Peter's got his gates to clean

 And God's too busy saving queens

 To ever get down off the fence

 And give the meek their inheritance

So it's only common sense

 To get yourself some self defence

(CHORUS) Same chords as first chorus except last chord is E

// x 2

(CHORUS)

Don't open the door

 Don't talk to strangers

 You've not met before

 Your guardian angel

 Will watch over you

 If your guardian angel

 Has got nothing to do

 And so we leave this nusery rhyme

 This grizzly gruesome pantomime

 From the cradle to a life of crime

And back again

 And now it's time

 To say goodbye
