Hey Mr. 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

Wouldn't even weigh a thing, it's hardly worth your time

My luck's been bad, telephone just kept my only dime

There might be a burglary

Why don't you just go and see

Be all right, be all right, be all right

Hey Mr. 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

That it's alright, it's alright, it's alright?
