G G7
Dear Officer Norris is that really your name?

Why do all you police men all look just the same?

With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor

Officer Norris would you please kiss my ass

Officer Norris, Officer Norris

Get down on your knees

Oh, ease out, we'll ease out, we shouldn't have tried

Go down to Columbus, Georgia, we was so fried

And the police they get you if you look strange at night
If you're wearing polyester double-knit you're alright

But we only had blue jeans; our eyes was red
C
Said they knew that we was awful; all the good folks was in bed
G D7
But what do they know? What do they know?

They don't know everything
G G7
No sheets on the bed, just a blanket of blue
C
If I was your mama I'd run out on you
D7
Were you in Korea and Vietnam, too?
Or did you learn in college like the young police do?

You learned how to use handcuffs and time your own breaks
C
Gettin' free cups of coffee, free coffee cakes

From middle-aged women that's already married
Middle-aged womens that's already married

Get down on your knees
