LIDO MISSED THE BOAT
THAT DAY HE LEFT THE SHACK
BUT THAT WAS ALL HE MISSED
HE AIN'T COMIN' BACK

AT A TOMBSTONE BAR
IN A JUKE-JOINT CAR HE MADE A STOP
JUST LONG ENOUGH
TO GRAB A HANDLE OFF THE TOP
NEXT STOP CHI'TOWN
LIDO PUT THE MONEY DOWN
LET HER ROLL
HE SAY, "ONE MORE JOB OUGHTA GET IT
ONE LAST SHOT 'FORE WE QUIT IT"

ONE FOR THE ROAD

LIDO, WHOA-OH-OH-OH....
HE'S FOR THE MONEY, HE'S FOR THE SHOW
LIDO'S A-WAITIN' FOR ANOTHER GO
LIDO, WHOA-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH....
HE SAID, "ONE MORE JOB OUGHTA GET IT"
"ONE LAST SHOT, WE QUIT IT"
"ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD"

LIDO BE RUNNIN',
HAVIN' GREAT BIG FUN 'TIL HE GOT THE NOTE
SAYIN' "TOE THE LINE OR BLOW IT"
AND THAT WAS ALL SHE WROTE
HE BE MAKIN' LIKE A BEELINE,
HEADIN' FOR THE BORDERLINE, GOIN' FOR BROKE
SAYIN, "ONE MORE HIT OUGHTA DO IT"
"THIS JOINT, AIN'T NOTHIN' TO IT"
"ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD"

LIDO, WHOA-OH-OH-OH....
HE'S FOR THE MONEY, HE'S FOR THE SHOW
LIDO'S A-WAITIN' FOR ANOTHER GO
LIDO, WHOA-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH....
"ONE MORE JOB OUGHTA GET IT"
"ONE LAST SHOT, AND WE QUIT IT"
"ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD"

[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE]

LIDO, WHOA-OH-OH-OH....
HE'S FOR THE MONEY, HE'S FOR THE SHOW
LIDO'S A-WAITIN' FOR ANOTHER GO
LIDO, WHOA-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH....


Lido Shuffle (Boz Scaggs)

(SPOKEN) ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THE NEW YORK SHUFFLE

MANHATTAN BABY WITH A SING SONG VOICE
SHE GOT HER PLACE IN THE HUMAN ZOO
I WENT TO LIVING ON THE BOULEVARD
NOW THAT THE REVOLUTION'S DUE
SHE SAID I'VE BEEN AROUND FROM TOWN TO TOWN
AND I LEARNED TO LOVE AND HATE
BUT TIME DON'T CHANGE NOT A UNIQUE GAME,
THEY JUST KEEP HERDING THROUGH THAT GATE

CHORUS

AND DO THE NEW YORK SHUFFLE, BABY NEW YORK SCUFFLE,
GOING TO STAY AWAKE ALL NIGHT
DO THE NEW YORK SHUFFLE, BABY NEW YORK SCUFFLE,
GET YOURSELF UPTIGHT, GET UPTIGHT

STICK AROUND KIDS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME ACTION
BETTER SHOOT THEM IN THE STREET
GRAB A GUN BEFORE THE POLICE COME,
DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE TOO SWEET
DOWN IN THE ALLEY THEY ARE HITTING HARDER
NOT AS BLOWN AS A BALL CAN BE
THEY'RE BURNIN FLAGS HERE AND JUST IN DRAG HERE
IT SURE IS A SIGHT TO SEE

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

MISTER MAYOR GIVE THE KEY, LET ME LOCK YOU UP
THROW THAT KEY DOWN THE DEEPEST SUBWAY IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

AH PRIMAL SCREAM I HAD ELECTRIC DREAM
I HAD TO BANG MY HEAD AGAINST THE GROUND
I HAVE TO GET OUT QUICK BEFORE I GET AS SICK
AS THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS TOWN
BOUNCE ME OFF THE PAVEMENT BOUNCE ME OFF THE WALL
BOUNCE ME OFF A TAXI CAR
GIVE ME A SHOT OF THAT OLD JACK DANIELS
AND PUT ME DOWN IN BARS

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE THEN

DOWN IN NEW YORK CITY, GET UPIGHT
DOWN IN NEW YORK CBABY, GET UPTIGHT
TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT GET UPTIGHT
TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT GET UPTIGHT

HE’S GONNA BE JUST LIKE YOUR BEST FRIEND
SO WHAT’S ONE LITTLE KISS
ONE TINY LITTLE TOUCH
AAAH, HE’S WANTING IT SO MUCH
I SWEAR THAT THIS IS ROYAL BLOOD
RUNNING THROUGH MY SKIN
OH CAN YOU SEE THE STATE I’M IN
KISS IT BETTER, KISS IT BETTER
[KISS THAT FROG]

GET IT INTO YOUR ROYAL HEAD
HE’S LIVING WITH YOU, HE SLEEPS IN YOUR BED

BUSTER HE SOLD THE HEAT
WITH A ROCKSTEADY BEAT

AN EARTHQUAKE IS ERUPTING
BUT NOT IN ORANGE STREET
A GHOST DANCE IS PREPARING
YOU GOT TO HELP US WITH YOUR FEET

IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE MOOD TO DANCE
STEP BACK GRAB YOURSELF A SEAT
THIS MAY NOT BE UPTOWN JAMAICA
BUT WE PROMISE YOU A TREAT

CHORUS:
BUSTER BOWL ME OVER
WITH YOU BOGUS DANCE
SHUFFLE ME OFF MY FEET
EVEN IF I KEPT ON RUNNING
I'D NEVER GET TO ORANGE STREET

SO I SAY THERE'S NOT MUCH LEFT TO SAY
FOR THE MAN WHO SET THE BEAT
SO I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU OUT THERE
TO GET HIM BACK ON HIS FEET

CHORUS X 1

BRING BACK THE WHO IS THE WE WANT THE
BRING BACK THE PRINCE

DOWN IN THE STREET THERE IS VIOLENCE
AND A LOTS OF WORK TO BE DONE
NO PLACE TO HANG OUT OUR WASHING
AND I CAN'T BLAME ALL ON THE SUN, OH NO

CHORUS:
WE GONNA ROCK DOWN TO ELECTRIC AVENUE
AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT HIGHER
OH WE GONNA ROCK DOWN TO ELECTRIC AVENUE
AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT HIGHER

WORKIN' SO HARD LIKE A SOLDIER
CAN'T AFFORD A THING ON TV
DEEP IN MY HEART I'M A WARRIOR
CAN'T GET FOOD FOR THEM KID, GOOD GOD

CHORUS

OH NO...
OH NO...
OH NO...
OH NO...

CHORUS

WHO IS TO BLAME IN ONE COUNTRY
NEVER CAN GET TO THE ONE
DEALIN' IN MULTIPLICATION
AND THEY STILL CAN'T FEED EVERYONE, OH NO

CHORUS

OUT IN THE STREET...
OUT IN THE STREET...
OUT IN THE PLAYGROUND...
IN THE DARK SIDE OF TOWN...

CHORUS

ROCK IT IN THE DAYTIME
ROCK IT IN THE NIGHT ...

Hi everyone, i was looking the internet for days, but i didnt find any page with the lyrics of "I'm a police car" of Larry Wallis. If someone could post the lyrics here or send them to me at [email protected] i'll appreciate that and i'll be very grateful.
I would play this song with my band but we don't know the words and we are italian so... we have some problem listening and transcribing it...lol
Thanx everyone.

I believe the track is called just "Police Car" and no, I haven't been able to find them either.

Thanx anyway, if someone know something about this song pls help me.
Thanx to everyone.

Why are all thel lyrics in caps? Are they to be shouted instead of sung? Or maybe turned up to eleven?

A simple cut & paste won't do, if you wanted to post in this thread you had to earn it. freestyle.

The original rules . . .


And a little help from MrK . . .

I'M ARMED AND DANGEROUS,
I PROWL THE STREETS AT NIGHT
I HOWL WHEN I GET UPSET,
I TURN ON MY FLASHING LIGHT

I SIT IN THE SHADOWS,
WAITING FOR A BITE
AND IF YOU SEE A GRIN IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
IT'S A HUNGRY BLACK AND WHITE

COZ I'M A POLICE CAR

HEY KID, YOU NEED TO SCORE,
AND THERE AIN'T NO HELP IN SIGHT
WHY NOT HIT THE LIQOUR STORE
THE ONE THAT STAYS AWAKE ALL NIGHT

AIN'T NO ONE AROUND TO SEE
JUST THE NIGHT SHIFT CLEANING THE STREETS
IT WAS A BREEZE, "HOLD IT, FREEZE"
THE GARBAGE TRUCK IS THE HEAT!

COZ I'M A POLICE CAR

(BREAK)

I'VE GOT A SHORT-WAVE MEMORY
AND A FAX JUST CAN'T BE BEAT
I KEEP TWO FRIENDS ALONG FOR COMPANY
AND A SHOTGUN UNDER MY SEAT

I'VE GOT SPEED, I'VE GOT POWER
I'VE GOT A V8 HEART
DON'T TRY TO RUN, FORGET THAT GUN
I'LL CUT YOU DOWN BEFORE YOU START

COZ I'M A POLICE CAR

(ALRIGHT SUCKER, LET'S YOU AND ME GO FOR A RIDE)

(Police Car - Larry Wallis) (Also covered by The Members)

BEFORE YOU LEAVE ME TO WASTE
SADDLE UP AND ILL HELP YOU FIND SOMETHING TO DRIVE
BEFORE YOU DRIVE ME INSANE

AND RIDE IT ON THE WIND
GET YOURSELF A CAR
AND DRIVE IT ALL ALONE
GET YOURSELF A CAR

BUT I CAN SHOW YOU A BETTER TIME"

BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR
AND MAYBE I LOVE YOU
BEEP BEEP'M BEEP BEEP YEAH

AND SHE SAID, "LISTEN BABY I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY

BUT I'VE FOUND A DRIVER AND THAT'S A START"

BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR

BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR
AND MAYBE I LOVE YOU
BEEP BEEP'M BEEP BEEP YEAH
