Verse 1
There was a (G major) lot of rocking going on that (E minor) night
(G major) Cruising time for the (E minor) young bright lights
(G major) Just down past the gasworks,
by the (E minor) meat factory door
The (C major) five lamp boys were coming on strong
The (G major) Saturday night city beat
had (E minor) already started
And the, (G major) the pulse of the corner boys
just (E minor) sprang into action
And (G major) young Billy watched it all
un (E minor) der the yellow street light
And said (C major) "tonight of (D major) all nights,
(E minor) there's gonna be a fight"

Verse 2
(G major) Billy don't like it living (E minor) here in this town
He says (G major) the traps have been sprung
long be (E minor) fore he was born
He says (G major) "hope bites the dust
behind (E minor) all the closed doors"
And (G major) pus and grime ooze
from its (E minor) scab crusted sores
There's (C major) screaming and crying
in the high-rise blocks"
It's a (G major) rat trap Billy, but you're (D major) already caught
And you can (E minor) make it if you wanna
or you need it bad enough
You're (C major) young and good-looking
and you're acting kind of tough
Chorus 1
Anyway it's (G major) Saturday night
time to (D major) see what's going down
Put on the (E minor) bright suit Billy,
head for the right side of town
It's (C major) only 8 o'clock but you're already bored
You don't (G major) know what it is
but, there's (D major) got to be more
You'd better (E minor) find a way out,
hey kick down that door
It's a (C major) rat trap (D major) and you've been (E minor) caught
(E minor) (E minor) (E minor)
Bridge 1
(A minor) In this town (G major) Billy says
"everybody's (G major) trying to tell you (E minor) what to do"
(A minor) In this town (G major) Billy says
"everybody (G major) says you gotta (E minor) follow rules"
You walk (A minor) up to those traffic lights
You switch from your left to right
You push in that button
and that (A minor) button (B minor) comes al (C major) right
And hits you (D major) "Walk, don't walk
Walk, don't walk
(E minor) Talk, don't talk
Talk, don't talk"
(D major) "Walk, don't walk
Walk, don't walk
(E minor) Talk, don't talk
Talk, don't talk"
Hey (A minor) Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
(E minor) Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
(A minor) Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Hey (E minor) Billy, take a walk with (G major) me
(E minor) Take a walk that leads to (G major) me
(E minor) Sweet high school blues

Verse 3
Oh (G major) little Judy's trying to watch
(E minor) "top of the pops"
But (G major) mum and dad are fighting
don't they (E minor) ever stop
She (G major) takes off her coat
and walks down (E minor) into the street
It's (G major) cold on that road,
but it's (E minor) got that home beat
Deep (C major) down in her pockets she finds 50p
Hey is (G major) that any way for a (D major) young girl to be?
I'm gonna (E minor) get out of school
work in some factory
Work all the (C major) hours God gave me
get myself a little easy (G major) money
Now, (D major) now, now na na (E minor)
Chorus 2
Her (E minor) mind's made up, she (A minor) walks down the road
Her (D major) hands in her pockets,
coat (B minor) buttoned 'gainst the cold
She (E minor) finally finds Billy down at (A minor) Italian cafe
And when he's (C major) drunk it's hard to understand
what Billy says
But then he (G major) mumbles in his coffee
and he (D major) suddenly roars
"It's a (E minor) rat trap Judy

(G major) (G major) (G major)
(G major) (G major) (E minor) (E minor)
(G major) (G major) (E minor) (E minor)
(G major) Rat trap, you've been caught
In a (E minor) rat trap, you've been caught
In a (G major) rat trap, you've been caught
In a (E minor) rat trap, you've been caught
