Two dead soldiers got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,

One was blind and the other couldn't, see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

Can you hear me in brooklyn- yeah
Can you hear me in brixton- yeah
Can you hear me in kingston- yeah

A paralysed donkey passing by,
Kicked the blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to arrest the two dead boys,
If you don't believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!

Can you hear me in brooklyn- yeah
Can you hear me in brixton- yeah
Can you hear me in kingston- yeah

Can you hear me in berlin- yeah
Can you hear me in dublin- yeah
Can you hear me in london- yeah
