I dont think that is the correct movie, sorry.  Michael Caine did a movie called 
"The Italian Job" in which a gang disguised as soccer fans rob a bank of a 
large amount of gold bullion and get away by driving mini's through the 
sidewalks and alleys too small for the police cars to follow.  They end
up loading the cars into a modified bus while driving in the mountains.
Then they unload the gold and push the minis out the back on hairpin turns to dump
them down the cliffs.  Unfortunately they celebrate too early and end up the
the bus balanced on the edge of a cliff with the gold at one end and them at 
the other.  Dont know about the song though, its part of a popular song from 
england.  I think probably the late 60's, but maybe later, I recall the words
by not the artist.
