Will this do?

He stops in Watford all the day long
Dreamin' and a-schemin' and doin' things wrong
While all the little minions down Clarendon street
Think of their bonuses sweet sweet sweet

Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Go robbin' robin
'Cause you're gonna get a shock tonight

Every canal boater, every walker too
Every towpath fisher will all feel the screw
The demand for more money with rises severe
Aint improvin' his position with the folks round here!

Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Go robbin' robin
'Cause the future aint looking too bright

Pretty little bollards by locks so thin
Really showed the ministers what a state we're in
They need new direction down the Watford end
So maybe we should say bye-bye old friend

Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Please go robbin' robin
'Cause we'd really like to try and get it right.

He tries to divide us, split us into two
So he can direct us with his point of view
but they're paying all their cronies a fee so fair
whilst the network is degrading into disrepair

Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Robbin' robin, cheat! cheat! cheat!
Please go robbin' robin
'Cause the cut is what it's really all about.
