Standing on the corner
Waiting for a crime to come along
Mister, it's a citizen's arrest
Just put your hands up slowly
No, this is not a test
You prob'ly thought ya got away scot-free
But jaywalking's illegal
Please come along with me, quietly
Now don't put up a fight
I saw you cross the street against the light
I'm a bit obsessed with my noble cause
I admit I arrested a Santa Claus
For loitering and connoitering
By the freeway
I applied to the Police Academy
They said I was an alternate
And they'd get back to me
That was '93
I saw you throw your chili dog on the ground
Would you step ever here, please?
I'm taking you downtown, right now
You walked off wiener-free
But your misdemeanor didn't slip by me
I never saw a law I didn't like
So stay off of the sidewalk on your bike
Walk your bike, please!
And trust thyself to bust thyself
When you need to
I can make a citizen's arrest
It's in our Constitution
The Ninth Amendment, yes, God bless
I saw your poodle crouching in the park
The evidence lay steaming
As he ran off with a bark, bark, bark
You may think it's a drag
But you've gotta stick that in a plastic bag
In my ceaseless quest to uphold our laws
In my zeal and zest if I go too far
I'll cuff myself and rush myself
To the station
Standing on the corner
Waiting for a crime to come along
