[Intro]

             
             


[Verse 1]

            
I was walkin' 

              
down the stree

  
t,
          
Concen-tratin'

              
 on truckin' r

     
ight.
          
I heard a dark

              
 voice beside 

       
of me,
           
And I looked r

             
ound in a stat

           
e of fright.


[Bridge 1]

          
I saw four fac

            
es, one mad, a

            
 brother from 

           
the gutter.
            
They looked me

              
 up and down a

          
 bit and turne

              
d to each othe

 
r.


[Interlude]

      
      
            I 


say:


[Chorus 1]

             
I don't like c

           
ricket, oh no,
          
I love it.


             
I don't like c

           
ricket, oh no,
          
I love it.



Break:

           
 Don't you wal

        
k through my w

#           
ords; you got

e-spect.
           
 Don't you wal

#         
ords, 'cos you

       
 ain't heard m

    
e out yet.


[Interlude]

                


[Verse 2]

              
Well he looked

He said I'll g

I said You've

n' man,
          
It was a prese

[Bridge 2]

          
He said I like

              
 it, I want it

     
, I'll take it

 off your hand

s,
            
And you'll be 

            
sorry you cros

            
sed me, you'd 


better underst

and,
            
That you're a-

A long way fro

        
m home.       

   
   And I say..

[Chorus 2]

             
I don't like R

[Verse 3]

           
I hurried back

              
 to the swimmi

        
ng pool,
        
Sinkin' pina c

       
oladas,
        
I heard a dark

              
 voice beside 

        
me say,
        
Would you like

[Bridge 3]

           
She said I've

    And I say:
