Can you tell me why the bells are ringing?
Nothing's happened in a million years
I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning

Wednesday morning can't believe my ears
Jazz police are looking through my folders
Jazz police are talking to my niece

Jazz police have got their final orders
Jazzer, drop your axe, it's Jazz police!


Jesus taken serious by the many
Jesus taken joyous by a few
Jazz police are paid by J. Paul Getty

Jazzers paid by J. Paul Getty II

Jazz police I hear you calling

Jazz police I feel so blue
Jazz police I think I'm falling,
I'm falling for you


Wild as any freedom loving racist
I applaud the actions of the chief

Tell me now oh beautiful and spacious
Am I in trouble with the Jazz police?


Jazz police are looking through my folders ...

They will never understand our culture

They'll never understand the Jazz police
Jazz police are working for my mother
Blood is thicker margarine than grease


Let me be somebody I admire
Let me be that muscle down the street

Stick another turtle on the fire
Guys like me are mad for turtle meat


Jazz police I hear you calling
Jazz police I feel so blue
Jazz police I think I'm falling,

I'm falling for you
