Cops and Robbers - Bo Diddley (波迪·德利)[00:00:00]
Written by:Ellas Mcdaniel[00:00:01]
I was drivin' home on the boulevard[00:00:05]
Late one night when I spied a guy over[00:00:08]
On the corner bummin' all alone[00:00:12]
Now as I passed him by I heard him holler out hey[00:00:15]
I slowed down see what he said[00:00:22]
He hollers a by any chance are you goin' my way[00:00:25]
I say why sho' baby hop on in and gimme a cigarette[00:00:30]
Just then he reached down in his pockets[00:00:34]
And that was the moment I regret[00:00:38]
He hollered reach for the sky[00:00:41]
I said but I don't understand sir[00:00:46]
Don't try no monkey business[00:00:51]
I've got a stopper in my hand[00:00:54]
And then he says a look here you see this here[00:01:01]
I got in my hand this is a .38 pistol built on a .45 frame[00:01:04]
Shoots tombstone bullets and a ball and chain[00:01:11]
He said now I ain't tryin' to shake you up[00:01:15]
And I but I just want you to know if the cops[00:01:18]
Start to crowd me any you gon' be the first to go[00:01:22]
So now look here don't even look back[00:01:26]
You just drive on just like ain't nothin' happenin'[00:01:28]
That's what he told me he wouldn't even let me look[00:01:30]
Back at nothin'[00:01:32]
He say when I get to that red light he wanted me[00:01:34]
To go to my left and then jump back to my right[00:01:38]
He says now a I want you to drive up in that alley[00:01:41]
Uh uh not in that alley that that one over there[00:01:46]
And cool it behind that liquor sto' and keep a sharp[00:01:49]
Lookout at all times while I sneak in that back do[00:01:52]
That's what he told me[00:01:54]
He say keep my foot on the gas and always[00:01:57]
Be on guard 'cause when he come runnin' out there[00:02:00]
Wit' all that money he wanted me to mash on it real hard[00:02:03]
He said now don't let him come out a d'ere and find me[00:02:08]
A double crossed because he'd murder when the heat's on[00:02:12]
Reach for the sky[00:02:22]
I said but I don't understand sir[00:02:26]
Don't try no monkey business[00:02:31]
I've got the stopper in my hand[00:02:33]
Ooo we while I was sittin' there just s'ramblin'[00:02:40]
A spotlight hit me dead in the face[00:02:45]
The cop pulled up behind me and said[00:02:49]
Move up a little bit man for we wanna take your place[00:02:52]
And then this guy come runnin' outta the sto'[00:02:56]
With the money in his hand and said oh there you are[00:02:58]
Ha he made a mistake in the dark and ran and leaped[00:03:03]
In the police car[00:03:05]
When they put the handcuffs on him[00:03:08]
I said child yo' crime have outgrew him[00:03:10]
And then they said yeah we gonna put him[00:03:15]
So far back in jail this time 'till they gonna have[00:03:18]
To pump air into him[00:03:21]
