[Verse]
  AmHey Mr. Policeman, Fplease don't take my stuff
AmIt cost me too much money, and it Eprobably ain't enough
To get me Amthrough Election Day
FDidn't I hear you say
That it's alAmright, it's alrEight, it's alAmright?
Wouldn't even weigh a thing, it's Fhardly worth your time
AmMy luck's been bad, the telephone just Ekept my only dime
There might Ambe a burglary
Why Fdon't you just go and see
If it'll be alAmright, be alrEight, be alriAmght?
