Oh take us back to another day
Give you a helping hand and then get out of your way
When they were dressed in long, blue coats
And their pockets stuffed full of crispy notes
Police, police!
Bring back the friendly police
They'll take you downtown is what they say
They'll hide their badges each and every way
When the clock says 2 a.m.
You better stay away from them
Police, police!
Bring back the friendly police
They don't leave their cars to patrol on foot
Better hope they never give you a second look
They'll run you down or they'll shoot you dead
'Cause there's nothing running in their heads
Police, police!
Bring back the friendly police
