There was a lot of rocking going on that night
Banyak sekali kegaduhan malam itu

Cruising time for the young bright lights
Saatnya bersenang-senang bagi anak-anak muda yang cerah

Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door
Di dekat pabrik gas, di pintu pabrik daging

The five lamp boys were coming on strong
Anak-anak lima lampu datang dengan semangat

The Saturday night city beat had already started
Irama kota malam Sabtu sudah dimulai

And the, the pulse of the corner boys just sprang into action
Dan, detak jantung anak-anak sudut mulai beraksi

And young Billy watched under the yellow street light
Dan Billy muda mengamati di bawah lampu jalan kuning

And said tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight
Dan berkata malam ini, dari semua malam, akan ada pertarungan

Billy don't like it living here in this town
Billy tidak suka tinggal di kota ini

He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born
Dia bilang perangkap sudah dipasang jauh sebelum dia lahir

He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors
Dia bilang harapan mati di balik semua pintu tertutup

And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores
Nanah dan kotoran mengalir dari luka yang berkerak

There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks
Ada teriakan dan tangisan di gedung-gedung tinggi

It's a rat trap Billy but you're already caught
Ini perangkap tikus Billy, tapi kamu sudah terjebak

But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough
Tapi kamu bisa keluar jika kamu mau atau jika kamu sangat membutuhkannya

You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough
Kamu muda dan tampan, dan kamu berlagak keras

Anyway it's Saturday night, time to see what's going down.
Bagaimanapun malam Sabtu, saatnya melihat apa yang terjadi.

Put on the bright suit Billy, head for the right side of town
Kenakan jas cerahmu Billy, arahkan ke sisi kota yang benar

It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored
Baru jam 8 tapi kamu sudah merasa bosan

You don't know what it is but there's got to be more
Kamu tidak tahu apa itu, tapi pasti ada lebih banyak

You'd better find a way out, hey kick down that door
Sebaiknya kamu cari jalan keluar, hey tendang pintu itu

It's a rat trap and you've been caught
Ini perangkap tikus dan kamu sudah terjebak

In this town Billy says everybody tries to tell you what to do
Di kota ini Billy bilang setiap orang mencoba memberitahumu apa yang harus dilakukan

In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules
Di kota ini Billy bilang semua orang bilang kamu harus mengikuti aturan

You walk up to the traffic lights,
Kamu berjalan ke lampu lalu lintas,

Switch from your left to right
Beralih dari kiri ke kanan

You push in that button, and that button comes alight
Kamu tekan tombol itu, dan tombol itu menyala

It tells you
Ia memberitahumu

Walk don't walk, Walk don't walk
Jalan jangan jalan, Jalan jangan jalan

Talk don't talk, Talk don't talk
Bicara jangan bicara, Bicara jangan bicara

Hey Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Hey Billy jalan-jalan, jalan-jalan, jalan-jalan

Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Billy jalan-jalan, jalan-jalan, jalan-jalan

Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, hey Billy take a walk with me
Billy jalan-jalan, jalan-jalan, jalan-jalan, hey Billy jalan-jalan denganku

Little Judy's trying to watch top of the pops
Judy kecil mencoba menonton acara musik terpopuler

But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop,
Tapi ibu dan ayah bertengkar, kapan mereka berhenti?

She takes off her coat and walks down to the street
Dia melepas mantel dan berjalan ke jalan

It's cold on that road, but it's got that home beat
Jalan itu dingin, tapi ada irama rumah di sana

Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p
Di dalam saku, dia menemukan 50 pence

Now is that any way for a young girl to be
Apakah ini cara yang baik bagi seorang gadis muda?

I'm gonna get out of school work in some factory
Aku akan keluar dari sekolah dan bekerja di pabrik

Work all the hours God gave me get myself a little easy money
Bekerja sepanjang waktu yang Tuhan berikan, dapat sedikit uang mudah

Now, now, now na na
Sekarang, sekarang, sekarang na na

Her mind's made up, she walks down the road
Pikirannya sudah mantap, dia berjalan di jalan

Her hands in her pockets, coat buttoned 'gainst the cold
Tangan di saku, mantel terknop melawan dingin

She finally finds Billy down at the Italian cafe
Akhirnya dia menemukan Billy di kafe Italia

And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says
Dan saat dia mabuk, sulit untuk mengerti apa yang Billy katakan

But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars
Tapi kemudian dia menggumam di kopi dan tiba-tiba menggeram

It's a rat trap Judy and we've been caught
Ini perangkap tikus Judy dan kita sudah terjebak

Rat trap, you've been caught in a rat trap
Perangkap tikus, kamu sudah terjebak dalam perangkap tikus

You've been caught in a rat trap
Kamu sudah terjebak dalam perangkap tikus

You've been caught in a rat trap
Kamu sudah terjebak dalam perangkap tikus
