Latvian, Croatian and a Polish man
Come, help us sing
Russian, Columbian and Jamaican
In Pentonville, it's a different ball game
Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough
It's hard, wicked and rough
Because it's rough, Pentonville tough
Everyday, it's the same
It's hard, Pentonville rough
Everyday, it's the same
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
So, A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Now, in Pentonville there's all type of nation
Indian, Chinaman down from Vietnam
Some men jump out of their brains
When they see the life, it go down the drain
It's rough, Pentonville tough
Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough
Bill Cole got my breakfast pack
And what's happening behind me
Some men jump out of their brains
Look over my shoulder back
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
It's hard, wicked and rough
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
It's hard, wicked and rough now
He won't give it back, ooh
It's tough, it's wicked and rough
Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough
Staring up at the ceiling
Or the shame or the pain
In Pentonville it's a different ball game
It's hard, wicked and rough now
And the Scottish and the Englishman
They're rough, Pentonville tough
'Cause they can't take the pressure
'Cause they can't take the pressure
No they can't get tamed
It's hard, wicked and rough now
It's hard, wicked and rough
No they can't get tamed
Poorly paid people formed the Irish gang
People can't get better
It's rough, Pentonville tough
Lying on my back
And from the Caribbean an Jamaican
Yeah, tough, Pentonville rough
Lying on my lumpy mattress
People can't get better
Counting all the cracks
A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come, help us sing
