Please Mr Policeman

Art Paul Schlosser · Be My Valentine

Please Mr. Policeman don't shoot me with your gun

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
