 *from 'The Specials' (1979)*
 
 Intro:
 
 (Spoken):
 
 (n.c)
 Court in session. What do you mean; "Oi, oi, oi"?
 Must have court in session. Order.
 
 (Spoken over E A B):
 
 My name is Judge Roughneck,
 And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom.
 Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me,
 And charged with smashing this woman's window.
 Before I sentence you; what have you got to say in your defence?
 
 Verse 1:
 
       E                A           B     
 I was walking down the street, one night,
        E                       A        B     
 When I saw her silhouette in a bathroom light.
 E                       A          B    
  Her way of life, baby; nothing to hide,
          E                                A    B    
 With her frosted glass shattered curtains open wide.
 
 Chorus 1:
 
 D      A      C     G   
  Naked woman, naked man,
 D              A        C        G   
  Where did you get that nice sun-tan?
     D         A      C        G    
 You live in a castle built of sand,
 D      A      C     G   
  Naked woman, naked man.
 
 Break:
 
 (n.c)
 Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed.
 And I can't stop the hatred running through my head.
 
 Solo:
 
 E A B (x6)
 
 Break:
 
 (Spoken over E A B):
 
 Silence in court. Order.
 Rude boy, you have led me to believe,
 That you was going out with a girl,
 And she left you and married someone else.
 So you got drunk and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property.
 I have come to one conclusion;
 That is to sentence you to five months in prison.
 Before they take you down to the cells,
 What have you got to say for yourself?
 
 Verse 3:
 
    E                               A              B    
 He wanted to be something, but she knows he never will.
       E                                A               B    
 She's got him where she wanted and for-got to take her pill.
        E                                      A               B       
 And he thinks that she'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies,
 E A Bb B (n.C)
 If that's a happy marriage; I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
 
 Chorus 3:
 
 D        A      C       G   
  Married woman, married man,
 D              A        C      G    
  Where did you get that family plan?
 D     A       C   G   
  Mrs. Ewe and Mr. Ram,
 D              A        C      G    
  Where did you get that lovely lamb?
