Pentonville

It's rough, it's wicked and rough

It's hard, Pentonville rough

It's tough, it's wicked and rough

It's hard, Pentonville rough

Now, in Pentonville there's all type of nation

Russian, Columbian and Jamaican

Latvian, Croatian and a Polish man

Indian, Chinaman down from Vietnam

And from the Caribbean an Jamaican

Poorly paid people formed the Irish gang

And the Scottish and the Englishman

They're rough, Pentonville tough

It's hard, wicked and rough

Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough

It's hard, wicked and rough now

Everyday, it's the same

People can't get better

No they can't get tamed

And black up the heads of the sick and the lame

Some men jump out of their brains

'Cause they can't take the pressure

Or the shame or the pain

When they see the life, it go down the drain

In Pentonville it's a different ball game

It's rough, Pentonville tough

It's hard, wicked and rough

Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough

It's hard, wicked and rough now

Lying on my lumpy mattress

Lying on my back

Staring up at the ceiling

Counting all the cracks

And what's happening behind me

Look over my shoulder back

Bill Cole got my breakfast pack

He won't give it back, ooh

It's rough, Pentonville tough

It's hard, wicked and rough

Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough

It's hard, wicked and rough now

Everyday, it's the same

People can't get better

No they can't get tamed

And black up the heads of the sick and the lame

Some men jump out of their brains

'Cause they can't take the pressure

Or the shame or the pain

When they see the life, it go down the drain

In Pentonville, it's a different ball game

So, A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing

Come, help us sing

A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing

Come, help us sing

Because it's rough, Pentonville tough

It's hard, wicked and rough

Yeah, tough, Pentonville rough

It's hard, wicked and rough
