| Public they get what we want
 | 
| Blood on your hands never did wash easy
 | 
| Oh, oh, oh
 | 
| What we need is a good, clean story
 | 
| To Good health! | 
| It’s flying off the shelf
 | 
| The tale of Sid the Strangler, he wrote it all himself
 | 
| Oh oh oh
 | 
| Skim through if it gets too gory
 | 
| Oh what a fine man was he!
 | 
| Built like a boxer should be!
 | 
| The jewel in the gangland, the pride of his homeland to see!
 | 
| Public they get what they want
 | 
| Salt of the earth and he talks like we do
 | 
| Oh, oh, oh
 | 
| Loves his footy and Sunday roast too
 | 
| Our Joan, She told me on the phone
 | 
| The bit about the chinaman who couldn’t pay his loan
 | 
| Oh, oh, oh
 | 
| Knew what he was getting into
 | 
| Oh what a fine man was he!
 | 
| Built like a boxer should be!
 | 
| The jewel in the gangland, the pride of his homeland, to see!
 | 
| Don’t you be worried my friend
 | 
| Women and children were safer back then
 | 
| Never been shame in the torture and maiming of men
 | 
| Rejoice in the streets my people!
 | 
| And dance with the ex-criminals
 | 
| Sure, they once broke the law
 | 
| But that’s what the prison’s there for!
 | 
| Are you really sure?
 | 
| Oh what a fine man was he
 | 
| Built like a boxer should be
 | 
| And as for the stabbing
 | 
| Well stranger things happen at sea
 | 
| Don’t you be worried my friend
 | 
| Women and children were safer back then
 | 
| Never been shame in the torture and maiming of men
 | 
| Here we go again |
