from "Live at the Austin Outhouse"
Capo IV
GDear Officer Norris is that really your G7name?
CWhy do all you police men all look just the same?
With your D7big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
GYou read us our rights but you read them too G7fast
COfficer Norris would you please kiss my ass
GOfficer Norris, D7Officer Norris
C7Get down on your Gknees
GOh, ease out, we'll ease out, we shouldn't have G7tried
CGo down to Columbus, Georgia, we was so fried
And the D7police they get you if you look strange at night
If you're wearing polyester double-knit you're alright
But we Gonly had blue jeans; our eyes was G7red
CSaid they knew that we was awful; all the good folks was in bed
But Gwhat do they know? D7What do they know?
C7They don't know everyGthing
GNo sheets on the bed, just a blanket of G7blue
CIf I was your mama I'd run out on you
Were D7you in Korea and Vietnam, too?
Or did you learn in college like the young police do?
You learned Ghow to use handcuffs and time your own G7breaks
Gettin' Cfree cups of coffee, free coffee cakes
From D7middle-aged women that's already married
Middle-aged womens that's already married
GOfficer Norris is that really your G7name?
CWhy do all you police men all look just the same?
With your D7big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
GYou read us our rights but you read them too G7fast
COfficer Norris would you please kiss my ass
GOfficer Norris, D7Officer Norris
