A live version of the song can be found on Dury's "Warts 'N' Audience" album, it is preceded by a short introduction by Dury in the form of him singing another song and Dury shouting 'Oi oi! to the crowd. It features a totally different verse replacing the second set of 'black/white' lyrics and Wilko Johnson on guitar. Another version has been released, recorded live after Ian Dury's death appears on The Blockhead's first release without their former lead singer "Straight From The Desk - 2". Another live performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, featuring Mick Jones of The Clash on guitar, was part of the Concert For Kampuchea, on 27 December 1979; Dury teasingly tells Jones "Listen, we got four chords in this song, Michael."
