"Officer Norris" lyrics

"Officer Norris"

Dear Officer Norris is that really your name
Why do all you Policemen all look just the same
With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
You read us our rights but you read them too fast
Officer Norris would you please kiss my ass
Officer Norris, Officer Norris, get down on your knees

Oh, ease dabble ease dabble
We shouldn't have tried
To go down to Columbus, Georgia we was so fried
And the police they get you if you look strange at night
If you're wearing polyester double knit you're all right
But we only had blue jeans
Our eyes was red
They said they knew that we was awful
All the good folks was in bed
But what do they know
What do they know
They don't know everything

No sheets on the bed
Just a blanket of blue
If I was your momma I'd run out on you
Were you in Korea and Vietnam too
Or did you learn in college like the young policemen do
You learned how to use handcuffs
And how to time your own brakes
Getting free cups of coffee, free coffee cakes
From middle aged women that's already married
Middle aged womens that's already married

Officer Norris is that really your name
Why do all you Policemen all look just the same
With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
You read us our rights but you read them too fast
Officer Norris would you please kiss my ass
Officer Norris, Officer Norris, get down on your knees
