You know me cos I hang around the bicycle sheds

kicking over the traces in my fancy footwear

as I go wrecking and stealing

around Tiananmen Square



I'm a Peking hooligan

I'm a social problem

I'm a Peking hooligan



I just finished at the city schools

I don't want to go back to the fields

I paid no heed to Mao's words

I heard after every meal



I'm a Peking hooligan ...
