Martial Law |
| I’ve declared a truce |
| So stop your fighting |
| The marshal is in town |
| I won’t put up with no big mouth yapping |
| At least not while I’m around |
| This is my friend Ace |
| He’s from the 8th precinct |
| Nothing goes on that he don’t know |
| And we’ve been sent |
| 'Cause your arguments |
| Have been going on too long |
| And before one of you |
| Hurts the other one of you |
| I’m declaring martial law |
| I came, I saw, I declared martial law |
| I’m the marshal in the city |
| The jails are filled with people like you |
| You oughta listen to your diddy wah diddy |
| What’s a girl like you doin’with that lamp |
| You better drop that down on the floor |
| And son, that isn’t very smart |
| Kickin’a hole in that door |
| Hey Ace, will you take a look at this place |
| And get those neighbors out of the hall |
| I’m declaring martial law |
| I came, I saw, I declared martial law |
| I’m the marshal in the city |
| And if you stand away |
| I’ve got something to say |
| That might even help you |
| Keep your hands to yourself |
| And keep your big mouth shut |
| Don’t you touch nobody with hate |
| And if all you got is poison in your mouth |
| Make sure that you don’t speak |
| It’s 3:30 in the morning |
| Don’t punch, don’t scratch, don’t bite |
| Try not to take the garbage of the day |
| To anyplace but outside |
| Now me and Mr. Ace are gonna leave this place |
| And this fighting’s gonna end |
| And if we’re called back |
| I’m gonna knock you flat |
| And stack you end to end |
| I came, I saw, I declared martial law |
| I’m the marshal in the city |
| I came, I saw, I declared martial law |
| I’m the marshal in the city |
| I came, I saw, I declared martial law |
| I’m the marshal in the city |
| I came, I saw, I declared martial law |
| I’m the marshal in the city |
