Can you tell me why the bells are ringing?
|
Nothing's happened in a million years
|
I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning
|
Wednesday morning can't believe my ears
|
Jazz police are looking through my folders
|
Jazz police are talking to my niece
|
Jazz police have got their final orders
|
Jazzer, drop your axe, it's Jazz police!
|
|
Jesus taken serious by the many
|
Jesus taken joyous by a few
|
Jazz police are paid by J. Paul Getty
|
Jazzers paid by J. Paul Getty II
|
|
Jazz police I hear you calling
|
Jazz police I feel so blue
|
Jazz police I think I'm falling,
|
I'm falling for you
|
|
Wild as any freedom loving racist
|
I applaud the actions of the chief
|
Tell me now oh beautiful and spacious
|
Am I in trouble with the Jazz police?
|
|
Jazz police are looking through my folders...
|
|
They will never understand our culture
|
They'll never understand the Jazz police
|
Jazz police are working for my mother
|
Blood is thicker margarine than grease
|
|
Let me be somebody I admire
|
Let me be that muscle down the street
|
Stick another turtle on the fire
|
Guys like me are mad for turtle meat
|
|
Jazz police I hear you calling
|
Jazz police I feel so blue
|
Jazz police I think I'm falling,
|
I'm falling for you
|
