Please Mr Policeman
Art Paul Schlosser · Be My Valentine
I'm just playing my guitar and I'm having a little fun
I don't want to hurt no body and no body wants to hurt me
So please Mr. Policeman let me go free
I won't sit and I won't stand
I'll hold my breath try not to breath if I can
I'm just gonna play a song and then I'll disappear
Oops I standing near someone else's beer
Yeah I was just sitting there not doing any thing wrong
Not thinking any evil thoughts just playing my songs
Well you know it wasn't murder and it wasn't robbery
It was the terrible crime of vagrancy
Please Mr. Policeman don't shoot me with your gun
I know I'm just a citizen but that don't mean I'm dumb
You know my rights but that don't mean I'm wrong
Hey what's so evil about a song
Please Mr Policeman
