Read Him His Rights Malone Lyrics

There’s good cop, bad cop, old cop, not much cop

There’s Jew cop, Irish, Black cop and drey cop

Now Chief’s in a mood, he don’t like attitude

he wants report on desk on Monday morning

If I don’t get it there there’s gonna be a warning

For me, but I need some more information

Gonna go see Huggy Bear down at the station

New York Streets and the city heat

Fighting crime takes up all my time

Wife’s gone mad, but I don’t care no more

I’m on the bottle so pump up the throttle

Read him his rights Malone

Sly and the Family Stone

Cuff the bum, cuff the bum

There’s Cagney and Lacey, Harvey and me

And together we make up the NYPD

Well my partner and I we don’t see eye to eye

Then he saves my skin and I

I have to change my way of thinkin’

Know I should be cutting down on the drinkin’

Deli time , we stop to buy

Double swiss pastrami sandwiches on rye.

New York Streets and the city heat

Fighting crime takes up all my time

Wife’s gone mad, but I don’t care no more

I’m on the bottle so pump up the throttle

Read him his rights Malone

Sly and the family Stone

Cuff the bum, cuff the bum

The look of love is in your eyes - a look your smile can’t disguise [x 2]

New York Streets and the city heat,

Fighting crime, it’s a waste of time,

Italian law enforcement men

Care for their pasta, but the Irish drink faster

Read him his rights Malone

Then we can all go home
