Hey mister 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
"It's all right, it's all right, it's all right."

No it wouldn't weigh a thing
It's hardly worth your time
Luck's been bad, the telephone just kept my only dime
And then I feel burglary
Why don't you just go and see
It'll be all right, be all right, be all right

Hey mister 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
