No Doubt
Oi to the World
from A Very Special Christmas 3

Haji was a punk just like any other boy,
and he never had no trouble til he started up his Oi band.
Safe in the garage or singing in the tub,
til Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub.
Twas a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins
popped in for a pint and to nick a bag of crisps.
Trevor liked the music but not the unity,
he unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees.

If God came down on Christmas day,
I know exactly what He'd say.
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
but Oi to the world and everybody wins!"

Haji was a bloody mess,
he ran out through the crowd.
He said "we'll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed"
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet,
Christmas day on the roof down at 20 Oxford street.

repeat chorus

On the roof with the nun-chucks Trevor broke a lot of bones,
but Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones.
Police sirens wailing,
a bloody dying man.
Haji was alone and abandoned by his band.
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate
when the skins left him there and went down the fire escape.
Oi! Oi!
But then Haji saw the north star shining more than ever,
so he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor.
They repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban,
and went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon.

repeat chorus twice

Oi! Oi!

The website I got the words from had them listed like that, but I listened to
the song again and I'm pretty sure the words are "...bloody yet unbowed".
Just thought I'd correct myself before somebody else did. :-)
