Madness - Rockin' In A Flat Lyrics
I used to work nights with my dad
It was the best job I ever had
Until them blokes on their bikes came through
Said "Come on down to youth, brother, see what's new"
Well come on, come on, come on, let's have some fun tonight
Went to the dance like they said I should
It cost me a bob, but it was quite good
The band were jumpin' and a-jivin' around
Their 20 Watt amps really made a sound
Well come on, come on, come on, let's have some fun tonight
Well, I'll have a cup of tea and then I'll change me name
And I'll put my records o-ah-o-ah-on
Till all the geezers in the flat complain
"Wish that rockstar bloke was gone" is the moan
Sold all my records and I bought a bike
I found some blokes who would do what I like
I saw the rigger who ran the hall
He said we can rehearse there any time at all
Well come on, come on, come on, let's have some fun tonight
We're really rocking now, I've got a bird
She says we are the best band she's ever heard
I've got a bike and I'm having a time
But my mum keeps saying "Rock 'n' roll's a crime!"
Well come on, come on, come on, let's have some fun tonight
(All right, all night!)
Well come on, come on, come on, let's have some fun tonight

Madness Rockin' In A Flat Comments
Suggs is the best!!!!!!!! :)
Just starting out yes lads!
fucking excellent
Barson has the best circus music licks.
3 tracks I like ...
1. Rockin’ in A flat - ( Bazooka Joe cover)
2. My Girl
3. House of fun
Too many great tracks and that 3 will change hourly .... good vid but my madness ended back in early 80s so really don’t know much after 82, that sounds a good album though ...
blinding madness footage,love this song,thumbs up fella 366
i'm 14 again
This is a great film for any young musician to watch, very inspiring!! even if you don't like the music.
This I agree with, recently joined a band myself- which does covers of bands including The Jam, Clash and some heavy metal bands, along with some reggae on the side.
Love it
So much energy in this version, a very exciting band all round.
My favorite part of Take it or Leave it when everything just clicks!
What a twit!! No wonder he and isd grew apart.
I love how Suggs randomly jumps into shot for the start of the song! haha
why is this on a neo nazi playlist
What The F... are you talking about?
Such a great song.
I have no idea why this wasn't a hit?
it wasn't released.
Lee Neale
I guess it wasn't a single
It wasn't released as a single u prick! You know what he meant!
Brilliant mate :)
This is ridiculously GREAT!
Now how great is this? :)
Alrrright..., I got some good news and I got bad news. Good news is we got a gig(yeah!), The bad news is, it's at the Acklam Hall (ohhhh!)
Its in C, so a double bluff?
Pardon x
Both, it's a play on words......
So many happy memories listen to this theres only one Madness happy days
It's the key ! ;) I supposed ....
Totally awesome.I'm still a fan after 33 years.
To answer your question, The line up is still the same, Mike, Lee, Chris, Chas, Woody, Bedders and the wonderful Suggs are still Madness!
Suggs and Chas are both definitely in. I can't remember any of the others off the top of my head, though
Suggs likes the flavour (isn't that how you Brits spell it incorrectly?) of microphone cords. MMMMM...tasty!!
That's how the whole world (with the exception of one [ahem] country) spells it. ...correctly
Wait... is it the key A Flat or are they in a flat?
It was always in the key of A Flat, until I saw this video, and I thought the same thing, in a flat.
CAMDEN... MY GOODNESS...
i used to work nights with my dad..... :)
