COPS AND ROBBERS
As I was driving home along the boulevard late one night
I saw a guy in the corner, bumming all alone
As I passed him by, I heard him holler out: "Hey!"
I slowed down to see what he said, he said:
He said: Eh! By any chance, are you goin' my way?
I said: "sure baby, hop on in and give me a cigarette
Then he reached out in his pocket
And that was the moment I regret
Well now boy Reach for the sky!
Because I don't understand, sir
Don't you try no monkey business,
I got a stopper in my hand!
An' then he said:
You see this rock I got in my hand?
This is a 38 pistol built on a 45 frame
It shoots tombstone bullets an' a ball and chain!
He said: I ain't tryin' to shake you up,
But I just want you to know
If the cops start to crowding me in
You're gonna be the first to go!
You just drive on just like there ain't nothin' happenin'
That's what he told me, he wouldn't even let me look back at nothing
And he said: when you get to that red light
I want you to jump to
Jump back your left and then switch back your right
He said: Now, I want you to park up in that alley
Ah ah, not that alley, that one over there
And cool it behind that liquor store
And keep a sharp lookout at all times
While I sneak in that back door
