Cops And Robbers - Bo Diddley

I was driving home on the Boulevard late one night

When I spied a cat over at the corner

Thumbing all alone

Now as I passed him by

I heard him holler out "Hey!"

I slowed down to see what he said
He hollered, "Oh, by any chance you going my way?"

I said "Why sure, baby, hop in and gimme a cigarette."

Just then he reached down in his pockets

And that was the moment that I regret

He hollered, "Reach for the sky!"

I said, "But I don't understand you, sir."

"Don't give me no monkey business,

I gotta stopper in my hand."

Again, he says, "Uh, looky here,
You see this here I got in my hand.
This is a thirty-eight pistol

Built on a forty-five frame,

Shoots tombstone bullets

And a ball and chain.

He said "Now, I ain't trying to shake you up,

And I but I just want you to know

If the cops start to crowd me in

you gonna be the first to go.

So looky here, don't even look back.
You Just drive on just like nothing happening

That's when he told me,
He said, "Don't even look back or nothing'"

He said, "when I get to that red light..."

He wanted me to go to my left
And then jump back to my right
He says, "Now, uh, I want you drive up in that alley,

N-n-n-n-not that alley, that alley over there!

And pull up behind that liquor store,

And keep a sharp look out at all times
While I sneak in the back door."
That's when he told me,

He said, "keep my foot on that gas,
And always be on gaurd,

'Cause when I come running out of there
with all that money..."
He wanted me to mash down on it real hard

He said, "Now, don't let me come out there

And find me a double-cross,

Because I murder when the heat's on.

"Reach for the sky!"

I said, "But I don't understand you, sir."

"Don't try no monkey business,

I gotta stopper in my hand."

Wooo-weee, I was sitting there, just trembling!

a spotlight hit me dead in the face

And Chicago cop behind me said,

"move over a little bit, man
We gonna take your place."

Just then this guy come running out of the liquor store
With all that money in his hand.
He said, "Oh, there you are."

He made a mistake in the dark
And leaped in the police car.

They put the handcuffs on him
I said, "Child, your crime must have outgrew him!"

And then they said,

"Yeah We gonna put you so far back in jail this time,
They gonna have to pump air into him."
