Cops And Robbers - Bo Diddley[00:00:00]
I was driving home on the boulevard[00:00:05]
Late one night when I spied a guy over[00:00:08]
On the corner bumming 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 'A-by any chance are you going my way '[00:00:24]
I say 'Why show baby hop on in and gimme a cigarette'[00:00:29]
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'[00:00:40]
I said 'But I don't understand sir '[00:00:45]
'Don't try no monkey business[00:00:50]
I've got a stopper in my hand'[00:00:53]
And then he says-a 'A-look-here you see this here[00:01:00]
I got in my hand this is a 38 pistol built on a 45 frame[00:01:03]
Shoots tombstone bullets and a ball and chain' [00:01:10]
He said 'Now I ain't trying to shake you up'[00:01:14]
(And I) 'But I just want you to know if the cops[00:01:17]
Start to crowd me any you gon be the first to go'[00:01:21]
'So now look-here don't even look back[00:01:24]
You just drive on just like ain't nothing happenin'[00:01:27]
That's what he told me He wouldn't even let me look[00:01:29]
Back at nothing [00:01:31]
He say 'When I get to that red light' he wanted me[00:01:33]
To go to my left and then jump back to my right [00:01:36]
He says 'Now-a I want you to drive up in that alley '[00:01:40]
'Uh-uh not in that alley that that one over there'[00:01:44]
'And cool it behind that liquor sto and keep a sharp[00:01:47]
Lookout at all times while I sneak in that back do' [00:01:50]
That's what he told me [00:01:53]
He say 'Keep my foot on the gas and always[00:01:56]
Be on guard 'cause when he come running out there[00:01:59]
Wit' all that money he wanted me to mash on it real hard [00:02:01]
He said 'Now don't let him come out a-d'ere and find me[00:02:07]
A-double-crossed' Because he'd murder when the heat's on [00:02:11]
Reach for the sky[00:02:20]
I said 'But I don't understand sir'[00:02:24]
Don't try no monkey business[00:02:29]
I've got the stopper in my hand[00:02:31]
Ooo-we while I was sitting there just s'ramblin'[00:02:38]
A spotlight hit me dead in the face [00:02:43]
The cop pulled up behind me and said[00:02:47]
'Move up alittle bit man for we wanna take your place'[00:02:50]
And then this guy come running outta the sto'[00:02:53]
With the money in his hand and said 'Oh there you are '[00:02:56]
Ha he made a mistake in the dark and ran and leaped[00:03:00]
In the police car [00:03:03]
When they put the handcuffs on him[00:03:06]
I said 'Child you crime have outgrew him'[00:03:08]
And then they said 'Yeah we gonna' put him[00:03:13]
So far back in jail this time 'till they gonna have'[00:03:15]
To pump air into him[00:03:18]
