F#7                                                   F#  Bm  F#  Bm
Stepney and Cricklewood on a bright and cheerful night
F#7                                               F#  Bm  F#  Bm
Watching a bruiser who's mind is bent upon a fight
  F#                 G      F#
  Frederick and Bill on the hunt
        A     E      Em   Bm           B  C  B  D  A  Am  Em
  For a fight with a Pakistani or a Jew

Give him a right-hander, boot him in the lug, ole Bill
Bottle him good and hard, boot him on the hooter, Fred
  Frederick and Bill out tonight
  For a black or a brown or a man in blue

    (solos: guitar, fiddle, bass)

2* B  C  B  D  A  Am  Em

Whiskey and tonic, iced, seems to bring his devil out
Pakis and Indians better watch their steps tonight
  Frederick and Bill on the hunt
  For a fight with a Pakistani or a Jew
