Oi to the World

Lyrics

[Intro] If God came down on Christmas Day What would he think? What would he say? Would he notice all we've done? Or just about a seldom one I think I know what God would say If he came down on Christmas Day He'd say to every boy and girl... "Where's the 'Oi' I gave to the world" [Verse 1] Haji was a punk just like any other boy And he never had no trouble 'til he started up his Oi band Safe in the garage or singin' in the tub 'Til Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub [Verse 2] 'Twas a cold Christmas Eve when Trevor and the skins Popped in for a pint and to nick a bag of crisps Trevor liked the music, but not the unity He unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees [Chorus] If God came down on Christmas Day I know exactly what he'd say He'd say "Oi!" to the punks and "Oi!" to the skins But "Oi!" to the world and everybody wins [Verse 3] Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out through the crowd He said, "we'll meet again, we are bloody yet unbowed" Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet Christmas Day on the roof down at 20 Oxford Street [Chorus] If God came down on Christmas Day I know exactly what he'd say He'd say "Oi!" to the punks and "Oi!" to the skins But "Oi!" to the world and everybody wins [Bridge] On the roof with the num-chuks, Trevor broke a lot of bones But Haji had a sword like that guy on Indiana Jones [Verse 4] Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man Haji was alone and abandoned by his band Trevor was still fading and still so full of hate When the skins left him there and went down the fire escape (Oi! Oi!) [Verse 5] But then Haji saw the north star shining more than ever So he made a tourniquet from his turban, saving Trevor They repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban And went down to the pub where they bought each other bourbon [Chorus] If God came down on Christmas Day I know exactly what he'd say He'd say "Oi!" to the punks and "Oi!" to the skins But "Oi!" to the world and everybody wins [Chorus] If God came down on Christmas Day I know exactly what he'd say He'd say "Oi!" to the punks and "Oi!" to the skins But "Oi!" to the world and everybody wins [Outro] Oi Oi!
