I heard it on the radio there was a riot downtown

The hooligans are here

Smashing windows, breaking faces, running wild

The hooligans are here

I saw it through my window, there's a riot downtown

The hooligans are here

Drinking, fighting, burning cars, screaming loud

The hooligans are here

I see them run through the city tonight

The sound of sirens makes them more anxious to fight

You better watch out if you go out tonight

Because the hooligans are ready to fight

The flames of a burning cop car

is spreading heat into the summer night
