| Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
|
| Someone said he stumbled and he fell
|
| Six squad cars came screaming to the rescue
|
| Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail
|
| 'Cause the law is for protection of the people
|
| Rules are rules and any fool can see
|
| We don’t need no drunks like Billy Dalton
|
| Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
|
| Charlie Watson wandered like a stranger
|
| Showing he had no means of support
|
| Police man took one look at his pants cuffs
|
| Hustled Charlie Watson off to court.
|
| 'Cause the law is for protection of the people
|
| Rules are rules and any fool can see
|
| We don’t need no bums like Charlie Watson
|
| Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree.
|
| Homer Lee Hunnicut was nothing but a hippy
|
| Walking thru this world without a care
|
| Then one day, six strapping brave policeman
|
| Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair
|
| 'Cause the law is for protection of the people
|
| Rules are rules and any foola can see
|
| We don’t need no hairy headed hippies
|
| Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
|
| So thank your lucky stars you’ve got protection
|
| Walk the line, and never mind the cost
|
| And don’t wonder who them lawmen was protecting
|
| When they nailed the savior to the cross.
|
| 'Cause the law is for protection of the people
|
| Rules are rules and any fool can see
|
| We don’t need no riddle speaking prophets
|
| Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree. |
