1
I'm the cop in a little bitty town
2
And I don't get much pay
3
Oh, but I caught seventeen out-of-state cars
4
And four of my friends today
5
Yeah, I let the hometwon boys go home
6
They paid five dollars bail
7
Oh, but all the drivers in the out-of-sate cars
8
Had to go to jail
9
Yeah, they hollered and they moaned, they cried and they groaned
10
They all swore that they'd sue
11
But the judge was high, and so was I
12
And we needed the money due
13
Yeah, the judge and me got a deal, you see
14
We split the money fair
15
'Cept thirty percent to the county seat
16
Keep the law out of our hair
17
And ol' Charlie's workin' out real good at down at the corner store where
18
The red light is. He sees them out-of-state plates two blocks away. When
19
They get right on top of that green light, ol' Charlie pushes that secret
20
Button underneath the corner drug store counter. And that yellow light only
21
Lasts for a tenth of a second.
22
Yeah, the county pays me about fourty a week
23
Ain't that the livin' end
24
If it wasn't for them tourists in them out-of-state cars
25
I'd have no loot to spend
26
But the way it stands this year so far,
27
I've made four hundred thou
28
For a high school dropout, I'm doin' fine
29
I'm makin' more than the president now
30
For a high school dropout, I'm doin' fine
31
I'm makin' more than the president now
32
So if you're drivin' down the road
33
And a flashin' light you see
34
If they're on top of a red Rolls-Royce
35
You can bet your boots it's me
36
'Cause I'm the cop in a little bitty town
37
And I'd sure like to see
38
All you drivers in them out-of-state cars
39
Try to get by me
