you could be in for a big surprise
'cas they'll be shakin' those drapes
an' stompin' those crepes
an' swingin' those bunches-a-fives
And they'll be bangin' on the counters
stampin' on the dough-nuts
layin' to waste all the bacon rolls
and be wadin' 'round in the rubble
on the look-out for any trouble
with big lead pipes and long poles
And they'll be removing all the table-cloths
chopping up the tables
and redecorating the men's-room
Tearin' down the ceiling
sendin' coathangers reelin´
While the juke-box blows a tune
Oh oh at the Vegetable Rumble tonight
Oh oh at the Vegetable Rumble tonight
And they'll be tearin' up the 'phone-books
rippin up the menus
tiltin' all the pin-ball machines
manglin' up the perculators
turnin' off the circulators
burnin' those sandals and jeans
An' they'll be strippin' down the walls
tearin' up the pumps
re-locating all the cups and plates
dislocatin' shoulders
heavin' piles of boulders
through the windows
with big iron crates
And there'll be swearin' in the alley
bowling at the Palais
dog-shows at the town hall too
National networked broadcasts
new names and dates in who's who
'This is the Police department speakin!
Come out with your hands up
We've got your surrounded
Stand up against the line there buddy
Who dialed 999? Up against the wall there:
'This has been a Public Health announcement:
Oh oh at the Vegetable Rumble Tonite
Oh oh at the Vegetable Rumble...
Well if you go down to the bar tonite you could be in for a big surprise 'cas they'll be shakin' those drapes an' stompin' those crepes an' swingin' those bunches-a-fives And they'll be bangin' on the counters stampin' on the dough-nuts layin' to waste all the bacon rolls and be wadin' 'round in the rubble on the look-out for any trouble with big lead pipes and long poles And they'll be removing all the table-cloths chopping up the tables and redecorating the men's-room Tearin' down the ceiling sendin' coathangers reelin´ While the juke-box blows a tune Oh oh at the Vegetable Rumble tonight Oh oh at the Vegetable Rumble tonight And they'll be tearin' up the 'phone-books rippin up the menus tiltin' all the pin-ball machines manglin' up the perculators turnin' off the circulators burnin' those sandals and jeans An' they'll be strippin' down the walls tearin' up the pumps re-locating all the cups and plates dislocatin' shoulders heavin' piles of boulders through the windows with big iron crates And there'll be swearin' in the alley bowling at the Palais dog-shows at the town hall too National networked broadcasts new names and dates in who's who 'This is the Police department speakin!
