Band On The Run

Stuck Inside These Four Walls,

Sent Inside Forever,

Never Seeing No One

Nice Again Like You,

Mama You, Mama You.

If I Ever Get Out Of Here,

Thought Of Giving It All Away

To A Registered Charity.

All I Need Is A Pint A Day

If I Ever Get Out Of Here.

Well, The Rain Exploded With A Mighty Crash

As We Fell Into The Sun,

And The First One Said To The Second One There

I Hope You're Having Fun.

Band On The Run, Band On The Run.

And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam

Were Searching Every One

For The Band On The Run, Band On The Run

Band On The Run, Band On The Run.

Well, The Undertaker Drew A Heavy Sigh

Seeing No One Else Had Come,

And A Bell Was Ringing In The Village Square

For The Rabbits On The Run.

Band On The Run, Band On The Run.

And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam

Were Searching Every One

For The Band On The Run, Band On The Run

Band On The Run, Band On The Run.

Well, The Night Was Falling As The Desert World

Began To Settle Down.

In The Town They're Searching For Us Every Where

But We Never W Ill Be Found.

Band On The Run, Band On The Run.

And The County Judge Who Held A Grudge

Will Search For Evermore

For The Band On The Run, Band On The Run

Band On The Run Band On The Run,

Band On The Run
