[Intro] Let me tell you a little something about where I live This is called Rakin' The Dead [Verse 1] I'm from a place called Forest Gate Forest Gate is a place without a forest or a gate There probably used to be but nowadays there ain't Shit loads of playing fields called Wanstead flats and man made lakes I know this boy called Craig three quarters my age He always used to go to the flats to play with his mates Til one day walking home from school on his lonesome Jays He stumbled across something strange in the open glade Now any normal person would know straight away That what he found that day on the glade was a shallow grave But not Craig, see, cause Craig is naïve, plus he smokes weed everyday He thought there was money buried in that grave So he rushed home quick so he could tell all his mates He told them he found some disturbed earth on the glade: "I think there's money buried there", but they just laughed in his face So the very next day Craig went over to Wanstead flats And showed the grave to his mates "See I told you I weren't lying, now what do you say? Let's dig this shit up and see what's there to take" "Okay", they both said to Craig Went to a nearby pub, stole two pint glasses and a rake Went back to the glade like there was no time to waste Got on their hands and knees and started digging up the grave [Hook] Once upon a time there was a boy called Craig Who found a dead body on the flats with his mates Once upon a time there was a boy called Craig Who found a dead body on the flats with his mates [Verse 2] It didn't take Craig and his mates that long to dig up the grave Even with two pint glasses and a rake That's why they're called shallow graves, cause they're shallow "Hey, wait, that looked like decomposed bone marrow on your rake" "What's that?" replied Craig "Look man, on the rake" "What the fuck is that? Looks like a T-bone steak" "T-bone steak? No, more like a lamb shank" "Ugh, that's rank man, get it out of my face" Poor little Craig and his poor little mates Went digging for treasure but what they found was a grave "Ahh look, there's maggots all over the place" "I haven't felt this sick since I saw that film Bad Taste" Craig and his mates were so disgusted they left the two pint glasses And the rake and dusted Called the police, said "Hi, my name's Craig "I just found a dead body over the Wanstead flats with my mates'" Before you could say "Blazin Squad are gay" The police were on the scene doing forensics on the grave Interviewing Craig, asking him "What in god's name possessed you to go digging up a bloody grave?" "I didn't know it was a grave", said Craig "Didn't even cross my mind" "So what exactly did you expect to find?" Replied the police officer in such a suspecting way That Craig got scared and didn't know what to say He had a frog in his throat and he started to shake He was sweating so much, drops of sweat were dripping of his face The policeman saw this as a perfect time for interrogation Looked at Craig and said: "Right, I'm taking you down to the station" [Hook] [Verse 3] "Right, state your name and where you live for the tape" "My name's Craig, I live in Forest Gate" "That's good, that's really good, no really, you're doing great Now, next question, tell me how old are you mate?' '17!? Cor blimey Don't look it, still you must just be short for your age All that ganja smoke couldn't have helped either though could it mate?" "What?" "Come on Craig, I weren't born yesterday And by the looks of it mate, you've been smoking since you was 8 Let's be honest, if you were any shorter you'd be a midget mate It must be hard to live with, it must be hard to take Its not you're fault you're short, still no other cunt's gonna see it that way" "I'm sorry officer, I really don't know what you're trying to say" "I'm just saying you must get bullied everyday That's why you killed that poor sod and put him in that grave" "What?" "HE TOOK THE PISS OUT OF YOU, DIDN'T HE CRAIG?" "Nooo, nooo" "DIDN'T HE, MATE?" [Hook] [Verse 4] Poor Craig, what could he say? He was now a suspect in a fucking full blown murder case Tears were streaming down his face "How much longer is this going to take? Please get me out of this place" "I've done nothing wrong, I only found the remains I didn't kill the guy, I swear to god, I'm innocent, ask my mates!" The copper had him right where he wanted him, ready to break The only thing was the murderer wasn't Craig And of course the copper knew this, he was just playing games So when he saw that Craig had pissed himself he had to call it a day "Look, I know you didn't kill the guy so I'm not going to do you for that, Craig" "Oh thank god" "But I am going to do you for stealing that rake" "What?" "I'm only pulling your leg, go on, scarper!"
