Lyrics
Betty was worried about the lover that she has married
And she didn't know what to do
He'd been hit by a hammer on the head and he lay dead
An' all her worst fears had come true

[Chorus]
Call the police
Call the police
Call the police
Call the police

Johnny was a joker and a very heavy smoker
And he never ever broke the law
Thin miss lizzy was a-kept very busy
And sometimes very dizzy, we knew what for

[Chorus]

And take 'em all away
Lock 'em up

[Chorus: x4]

Louie was a loner and a big time Al Capone-er
Doin' all his dipping from the door
He knew a shady dealer who had done a dirty DJ,
The sooner he could even the score

[Chorus]

And lock 'em up
Help ya have a birthday, say
Take 'em all away
