[Rick James - Mr. Policeman lyrics]
Hey Mr policeman
I've seen you in my neighborhood
You look to me up to no good
I've seen you with your gun in your hand
Hey Mr policeman
I saw you shoot my good friend down
He was just having fun
Checking out a one and one
It's a shame, it's a disgrace
Why every time you show your face
Somebody dies, man somebody dies, man
La, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Hey Mr policeman
Why don't you leave the boys alone
Why don't you just roll your own, yeah
And call me on the telephone
Hey Mr policeman
I see you walking on your beat
Searching strangers on the street
Especially the hoes you meet, yeah
It's a shame, it's a disgrace
Why every time you show your face
Somebody dies, man somebody dies, man
Check it out
Police sirens
Shot my friend down, down, down, yeah, sing
La, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Hey Mr policeman
I saw you shoot my good friend down
He was just having fun, yeah
Checking out a one and one hey Mr policeman
I see you never having fun
Strapped to your side a gun 357 Smith Magnum
It's a shame, it's a disgrace
Why every time you show your face
Somebody dies, man somebody dies, yeah, sing
La, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, sing
La, la la la la la la la la la la la
I'd rather be a farmer than to be
The police (The police) police (The police)
I'd rather be a singer than to be
The police (The police) police (The police)
I'd rather be a farmer than to be
The police (The police) police (The police)
I'd rather be a funk n'
Roll singer than the police
The police (The police) sing it, children
La, la la la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la la, take me home
La, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, yeah
La, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
