Keep your doors and windows barred
Burglars don't send a card
To warn you that they're on their way
They come uninvited night or day.
They scan your house with greedy eyes,
Knock on your door in some disguise,
Slip through a window that's unprotected
Make off with treasures you've collected.
Sell them on and with a smile,
Feed their habits for a while.
Then back again in case there's more
Through a window or a door.
Poor folk or the landed gentry
It matters not, they'll make an entry
Smashing this and stealing that.
From office, house or council flat
It doesn't matter when or where
These scumbags haven't got a care.
They rub their hands and smile with glee
As they count the goods they got for free.
Unless that is we all fight back
And send them home with empty sack.
By always making double sure
We lock all windows and the door.
