Police! Police! - Atlanta Rhythm Section

Well, it was Saturday night and it was getting kinda late

Willie said I got to get my head on straight

He went down to the poolroom and made him a buy

From an undercover agent in the FBI

He said police, police

Gimme a chance

I’m a victim of a circumstance

Take these handcuffs offa my hands

Have a little mercy Mr. Policeman

It’s a sad situation but it ain’t no crime

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Can’t ever tell when it might be you

Tellin' hard luck stories to the man in blue

Singin' police, police

Gimme a chance

I’m a victim of a circumstance

Take these handcuffs offa my hands

Have a little mercy Mr. Policeman

Well, it don’t really matter if you’re right or wrong

When the man says «go,"you're as good as gone

So keep on singing, what you got to lose

Give it one more chorus of the Police Blues

It goes: police, police

Gimme a chance

I’m a victim of a circumstance

Take these handcuffs from my hands

Have a little mercy Mr. Policeman

Police, police

Gimme a chance

I’m a victim of a circumstance

Take these handcuffs from my hands

Please, have mercy

Mr. Policeman
