Hey Mr. Policeman, please don't take my stuff
It cost me too much money, and it probably ain't enough
To get me through Election Day
Didn't I hear you say
That it's alright, it's alright, it's alright?
Wouldn't even pay a thing, it's hardly worth your time
My luck's been bad, the telephone just kept my only dime
And it might be a burden to me
Why don't you just go and see
If it'll be alright, be alright, be alright?
