Chicago Cops

I'm an old Chicago copper, that's just what I am

For these investigations, I do not give a damn

I'll tell all those do-gooders just where they all can go

Say, I don't want no changes made, I like the status quo

Say, I don't want no changes made, I like the status quo

I'm prompt, alert, efficient while on the outer drive

I haven't made a single pinch since 1935

I'm courteous to the speeder, I praise him for his skill

And I've always got the proper change for a twenty dollar bill

And I've always got the proper change for a twenty dollar bill

I hope this trouble's over soon so things can settle down

And Christmas comes again each day for cops in old Chi-town

Or else I'll pack my badge and gun, and northward I'll set sail

'Cause the cops, they all retire young, way up in Summerdale

'Cause the cops, they all retire young, way up in Summerdale

Now it's time for decent folks to finally have their say

Let's separate the crooks from cops, let the chips fall where they may

You've heard us tell our story, you know that we are right

And if God and the cops be willing, we'll be back tomorrow night

And if God and the cops be willing, we'll be back tomorrow night
