[Verse]
Am                        Em          
I come from south London I think I'm cool.
G                           F#m     D
I wear a cheap crombie and that's about all
Am                     Em
I go down the pub with all the lads
G                                D
Their wearing their chains that they got from their dads
     Am             Em
But all I got was a rotten cheap chain
     G                          D
My wife's got in debt with the club book again

[Chorus]
Am           Em
I'm a plastic gangster
G                           D
They call me a crown and anchor

[Instrumental]
Am      Em
G        D

[Verse]
   Am                      Em
I asked one of my mates to get me some books
  G                       D            
About the East End their gangs and their crooks
  Am                       Em
I bought a cheap car from one of the lads
     G                         D
He got it cheap from his car dealing dad
    Am                   Em
I'm in my new car, I'm driving it home
     G                      D
The next thing I know the engine has blown

[Chorus]
Am           Em
I'm a plastic gangster
G                           D
They call me a crown and anchor

[Verse]
  Am                           Em
I went down the West End, the local was drag
   G                      D
I had to pay a tenner to go with some bag
  Am                            Em      
I took her home to her place I gave her some stick
      G                     D
The next thing I know the old bag was sick

Am                            Em     
I stay at home on Thursdays, Minders on TV
      G                               D
I'm learning Cockney rhyming slang of to a tee
   Am                           Em
So when I go out on Fridays I know what to say
   G                         D
I wish I was like Arthur and get my own way
