Cops and Robbers - Bo Diddley (波迪·德利)[00:00:00]
As I was driving home along the boulevard late one night[00:00:05]
I saw a guy in the corner bumming all alone[00:00:11]
As I passed him by I heard him holler out: "Hey "[00:00:16]
I slowed down to see what he said he said:[00:00:22]
"Eh By any chance are you goin' my way "[00:00:26]
I said: "sure baby hop on in and give me a cigarette"[00:00:30]
Then he reached out in his pocket[00:00:35]
And that was the moment I regret[00:00:38]
Well now boy "Reach for the sky "[00:00:41]
Because I don't understand sir[00:00:46]
"Don't you try no monkey business [00:00:51]
I got a stopper in my hand "[00:00:54]
An' then he said: "You see this rock I got in my hand [00:01:01]
This is a 38 pistol built on a 45 frame[00:01:06]
It shoots tombstone bullets an' a ball and chain "[00:01:11]
He said: "I ain't tryin' to shake you up [00:01:15]
But I just want you to know[00:01:18]
If the cops start to crowding me in[00:01:21]
You're gonna be the first to go [00:01:24]
You just drive on just like there ain't nothin' happenin'"[00:01:26]
That's what he told me he wouldn't[00:01:28]
Even let me look back at nothin'[00:01:31]
And he said: "when you get to that red light[00:01:34]
I want you to jump back your left[00:01:37]
And then switch back your right"[00:01:39]
He said: "Now I want you to park up in that alley[00:01:42]
Ah ah not that alley that one over there[00:01:46]
And cool it behind that liquor store[00:01:49]
And keep a sharp lookout at all times[00:01:51]
While I sneak in that back door"[00:01:53]
That's what he told me[00:01:55]
He said:"keep your foot on the gas[00:01:58]
And always be on guard[00:02:00]
'Cos when I come runnin' out the liquor store with all that money[00:02:02]
He wanted me to mash on it real hard[00:02:04]
He said: "Now don't you come[00:02:09]
Out of there an' try me a double-crossed[00:02:11]
Because it's murder when the heats on "[00:02:17]
"Reach for the sky "[00:02:22]
Yeah but I don't understand sir[00:02:26]
"Don't you try no monkey business [00:02:31]
I got a stopper in my hand "[00:02:34]
Ooeee while I was sittin' there just tremblin'[00:02:41]
A spotlight hit me dead in the face[00:02:45]
An' a cop pulled up behind me and said:[00:02:50]
"Move up a bit man for we want to take your place "[00:02:52]
An' then this guy come runnin' out of[00:02:56]
The store with the money in his hand[00:02:59]
And said "Oh there you are "[00:03:01]
He made a mistake in the dark and ran[00:03:03]
And leaped in the police car [00:03:05]
When they put the handcuffs on him[00:03:08]
I said: "Child your crime must have outgrew him "[00:03:10]
An' then they said: "Yeh we gonna put him[00:03:16]
So far back in jail this time[00:03:18]
That they're gonna have to pump air into him "[00:03:20]
