I"m the cop in a little bitty town
I don"t get much pay
Oh but I caught 17 out of state cars
And four of my friends today
Yeah I let the home town boys go home
They paid five dollars bail
All the drivers of the out of state cars
Had to go to jail
Well they hollered and moaned
And cried and they groaned
They all swore that they"d sue
But judge was high and so was I
And we needed the money too
The judge and me got a deal you see
We split the money fair
send 30% to the county seat
To keep the law, out of our hair
And old Charlie is working out real good
Down at the corner store where the red light is
He sees them out of state plates two blocks away
When they get right up on top of that green light
Old Charlie pushes that secret b***on
Underneath the corner drugstore counter
That yellow light only lasts for a tenth of a second
See the county pays about 40 a week
Ain"t that the living end
If wasn"t for the tourists and them out of state cars
I have no leaf to spend
But the way it stands this year
So far I"ve made a hundred thou
For a high school dropout I"m a doing fine
I make more than the president now
Course he"s honest
So if your driving down the road
And flashing lights you see
If they"re on top of a red Rolls-Royce
You can bet your boots, it"s me
Cause I"m the cop in an itty bitty town
And I sure like to see
All the drivers in the out of state cars
Try to get by me
I don"t get much pay
