Now let me tell you about a man named john law

He's a neighborhood cop, the toughest man I ever saw

A man who knows his duty, a man with a gun

To the people in the neighborhood john law is number one

Freeze, we said stop (his name was john law)

For john law, neighborhood cop (a man we know and love)

When john law's not kicking ass on robbers and rapist

He's helping little kids deliver newspapers

When john law's not chasing crackheads from their perch

He's helping old ladies on their way to church

Freeze, we said stop (his name was john law)

For john law, neighborhood cop (a man we know and love)

He walks the beat

Riding scumbags from the streets

He turns his eye to petty crime

Cause john law will never drop a dime

Suburban anarchists who've never broke the law

Sing about police oppression, but they've never met john law

He doesn't fuck with young kids drinking in the park

But he makes the city safe for women after dark

Freeze, we said stop (his name was john law)

For john law, neighborhood cop (a man we know and love)
