Lyrics
SUBURBAN COP
The Ballad of Jimmy Jones
Verse1
It's Jimmy Jones neighborhood
He thinks he's bad, but we know he's good
Beautiful home, He's on top. Asuburban cop who loves donut shops
Chorus
Sgt. Jimmy's got a gun
And he's out there havin' fun
Sgt. Jimmy's got a gun
The bad guys are on the run
Nobody ever loses sleep
When Sgt. Jones is on the beat.
Verse2
Makes six figures on government pay
Puts up signs saying "Children at Play"
Saved a kitty from a tree
Has to justify his salary
Chorus
Bridge
He's right there solving the world's greatest crime
But still gets home for dinner on time
He got a wife at home -she worries a lot
Don't worry ma'am he'll never get shot!
Solo/repeat bridge
Verse 3
An all points bulletin to Jimmy's friends
This is where the ballad of Jimmy Jones ends
He's one tough cop you don't want to meet
So don't go speeding down Jimmy's street 'Cause
Chorus/fade
