Lyrics
"Small Town Cops"
(Lyrics: M. Sass, M. Novak - Music: M. Novak)
Small Town Cops Small Town Cops
Three Million Dollar budget and a force of six
Run up and down the road like Keystone dicks
Acting all heroic and doing good deeds
If you don’t want a ticket cut down your weeds.
Small Town Cops Small Town Cops
If you scratch my back I’ll turn a blind eye
Mr Mayor and the gang the Cops ally
The rules aren’t always followed but that’s OK
For small town cops it’s just another day
Small Town Cops Small Town Cops
CHORUS:
Don’t ever criticize the Small Town Cops
They’re watching and listening the Small Town Cops
They know your car and where you live the Small Town Cops
Don’t mess with the uniform or you end up in the box
Small Town Cops Small Town Cops
Cop - Do you know why I pulled you over boy?
Guy - No I don’t Officer, I wasn’t speeding
Cop - You don’t have a rifle rack in the back of your truck.
Guy - I just moved here from California
COP - Well get out of the truck, get out of the truck
Don’t leave the bar at closing time
They’re waiting to charge you with a made up crime
They’re waiting in the weeds for you to speed
It’s only used to meet the revenue need
Small Town Cops Small Town Cops
To protect and to serve we’ve got money in reserve
They’ll do their best to make an arrest
This small town is run by clowns
Be aware of the small town scare
Small Town Cops Small Town Cops
Chorus:
Small Town Cops Small Town Cops
