It´s rough
It´s wicked and rough
It´s hard
Pentonville rough
It´s tough
It´s wicked and rough
It´s hard
Pentonville rough

Now in Pentonville there´s all type of nation
Russian, Columbian and Jamaican
Latvian, Croatian and a Polishman
Indian, Chinaman down from Vietnam
And from the Carribbean an Jamaican
Poorly paid people formed the Irish gang
And the Scottish and the Englishman

They´re rough
Pentonville tough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough now

Everyday, it´s the same
People can´t get better
No they can´t get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
Some men jump out of their brains
Cause they can´t take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
In Pentonville it´s a different ball game

It´s rough
Pentonville tough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough now

Lying on my lumpy mattress
Lying on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
Counting all the cracks
And what´s happening behind me
Look over my shoulder back
Bill Cole got my breakfast pack
He won´t give it back
Ooooooooooh

It´s rough
Pentonville tough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah rough
Pentonville tough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough now

Everyday, it´s the same
People can´t get better
No they can´t get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lame
Some men jump out of their brains
Cause they can´t take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
In Pentonville it´s a different ball game

So A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come help us sing
A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come help us sing

Because it´s rough
Pentonville tough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough
Yeah tough
Pentonville rough
It´s hard
Wicked and rough
