Leonard Cohen

Can you tell me why the bells are ringing?

nothing's happened in a million years

I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning

Wednesday morning can't believe my ears



Jazz Police are looking through my folders

Jazz Police are talking to my niece

Jazz Police have got their final orders

Jazzer drop your axe it's Jazz Police!



Jesus taken serious by many

Jesus taken joyous by a few

Jazz Police are paid by J. P. Getty

Jazzers paid by J. P. Getty II



Jazz Police I hear you calling

Jazz Police I feel so blue

Jazz Police I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you



Wild as any freedom loving racist

I applaud the actions of the Chief

Tell me now, o beautiful and spacious

Am I in trouble with the Jazz Police?



Jazz Police are looking through my folders

Jazz Police are talking to my niece

Jazz Police have got their final orders

Jazzer drop your axe it's Jazz Police!



They will never understand our culture

They'll never understand the Jazz Police

Jazz Police are working for my mother

Blood is thicker margarine than grease



Let me be somebody I admire

Let me be that muscle down the street

Stick another turtle on the fire

Guys like me are mad for turtle meat
