Not guilty

For getting in your way

While you're trying to steal the day

Not guilty

And I'm not here for the rest

I'm not trying to steal your vest.



I am not trying to be smart

I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry for your ageing head

But like you heard me said

Not guilty.



Not guilty

For being on your street

Getting underneath your feet

Not guilty

No use handing me a writ

While I'm trying to do my bit.



I don't expect to take your heart . . .

I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you're underfed . . .

But like you heard me said . . .

Not guilty.



Not guilty

For looking like a freak

Making friends with every Sikh

Not guilty

For leading you astray

On the road to Mandalay.



I won't upset the apple cart

I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you've been misled . . .

But like you heard me said . . .

Not guilty.
