CHICAGO COPS (Bob Gibson and Bob/Hamilton Camp) I'm an old Chicago copper and that's just what I am. For these investigations I do not give a damn. I'll tell all those do-gooders just where they all can go, 'Cause I don't want no changes made. I like the status quo. I'm prompt, alert, and efficient when on the outer drive. I haven't made a single pinch since 1935. I'm courteous to the speeders. I praise them for their skill. And I always have the proper change for a twenty-dollar bill. I give out parking tickets when crime is on the loose, But we ain't got no criminals in our old calaboose. With a storm of scandals raging, it surely is a shame, But we won't let Ben Adamowski break up our poker game. I hope this trouble's over soon and we can settle down, And Christmas comes again, for cops, each day in old Chi-town. Or else, I'll pack my hat and gun and northward I'll set sail, For all the cops retire young way up in Summerdale. Well, now my story's over and I have had my say. Let's separate the crooks from cops, let the chips fall where they may. Now you've heard my story and you know that I am right, And if God and the cops be willin', I'll be back tomorrow night. Ben Adamowski = the State's Attorney of Illinois. Recorded by Bob Gibson and Bob Camp on "Gibson & Camp at the Gate of Horn," 1961. words: Bob Gibson and Bob/Hamilton Camp tune, "The Unreconstructed Rebel." filename[ CHICGCOP XX  8note Sheet |
