about

The classic 1979 single from the cult classic album, "…And Yob's Yer Uncle!" by pub rock legend, Wiz Tenkins (born John Bonham), perhaps known best for his infamous Top of The Pops performance, wherein Wiz and his band got all of their "closest mates" onstage to crush beer cans on each other's heads. Wiz's career tanked soon after, however, when it was revealed that he had not been to borstal but was indeed an alumnus of Leeds College of Art.

lyrics

la la la la la la la x4

when we're walking down the street
all the people say, "oi, whatcha doin"
all the people look at us and they're all amazed
and i tell 'em, "oi! fuck off"
i'm with my cutie
and she's a real beauty and you all look the same

what's a borstal boy doin' with a west end cutie like you?

when we're walking down the street
all the people say, "oi, whatcha doin"
all the people look at us and they're all amazed
cause i'm with my cutie
and she's not a tart and
i'm wearing doc martens
so they think me depraved

what's a borstal boy doin' with a west end cutie like you?

lenny, do ya think we'll carry on this way, yeh?
(no i don't, wiz!)
lenny, do ya think we'll carry on this way, yeh?
(no i don't, wiz!)

when we're walking down the street
all the people say, "oi! the job centre's that way"
and i tell em, "oi! fuck off! i'm not on the dole"
and even if i was, man
my cutie still loves me
even though i'm so ugly
and i'm covered in moles

what's a borstal boy doin' with a west end cutie like you?
