(Riff 'A' 2 times) 
(Riff 'A') 
Well in the middle of the night 
And the early morning light 
You can hear them a million miles away 
(Riff 'A') 
They'll be banging on their drums 
Banging on your door 
Waving their flags telling you the score 
      
          (Riff 'B') 
CHORUS:   Watch out for the Rock Brigade 
          Oh no it's the Rock Brigade 
          Look out for the Rock Brigade 
          Leading you away, away 
  
(Riff 'A') 
So when they hit your town 
You'd better get down I'm telling no lies to you mister 
(Riff 'A') 
'cause they live for rock 'n' roll 
They'll try to steal your soul 
Might even try to steal your sister 
  
(Riff 'C') 
CHORUS 
  
(Riff 'D') 
SOLO 
  
(Riff 'A') 
So in the middle of the night 
Or the early morning light 
If you hear them coming your way 
(Riff 'A') 
Well you'd better watch you step 
Don't step out of line 
'cause here they come one more time 
  
(Riff 'E')
