Dear Officer Norris is that really your name?
C
Why do all you police men all look just the same?
D7
With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
G G7
You read us our rights but you read them too fast
C
Officer Norris would you please kiss my ass
G D7
Officer Norris, Officer Norris
C7 G
Get down on your knees
G G7
Oh, ease out, we'll ease out, we shouldn't have tried
C
Go down to Columbus, Georgia, we was so fried
D7
And the police they get you if you look strange at night
If you're wearing polyester double-knit you're alright
G G7
But we only had blue jeans; our eyes was red
C
Said they knew that we was awful; all the good folks was in bed
G D7
But what do they know? What do they know?
C7 G
They don't know everything
G G7
No sheets on the bed, just a blanket of blue
C
If I was your mama I'd run out on you
D7
Were you in Korea and Vietnam, too?
Or did you learn in college like the young police do?
G G7
You learned how to use handcuffs and time your own breaks
C
Gettin' free cups of coffee, free coffee cakes
D7
From middle-aged women that's already married
Middle-aged womens that's already married
