Well, take us back to another day
(When) they'd give you a helping-hand
And then get you of your way
When they were dressed in long blue coats
And their pockets were stuffed full of crispy notes

Police, police
Bring back the friendly police!

They'll take you downtown, is what they say
They hide their badges each and every way
When the clock says two am
You'd better stay away from them

Police, police
Bring back the friendly police!

They don't leave their cars to patrol on foot
Better hope they never give you a second look
They'll run you down or they'll shoot you dead
'Cause there's nothing running in their heads

Police, police
Bring back the friendly police!
