The other night we were dancing, all through the night, everybody was laughing, feeling alright, we were just getting tipsy, having some fun, when came a knock on the door just as loud as a gun, I opened up the door, my smile turned to a frown it was old Johnny law come to shut us down.
Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw,(Johnny law oh Johnny law) Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, (Johnny law, oh Johnny law) OH you'd think he'd be more fun the way he's always around but he only shows up just to shut us down.
The other night we were driving all around town, burning up rubber, just messing around, we were going real fast and, stereo blasting, a blur to the cars that we were a passing, when in my rear view, what do I see? the red and blue lights of Johnny law flashing at me.
Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw,(Johnny law oh Johnny law) Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, (Johnny law, oh Johnny law) OH you'd think he'd be more fun the way he's always around but he only shows up just to shut us down.
The other night I was walking, down the street, headphones in my ear I was bumping to the beat, I was just messin’ around I didn't have any plans, up walks Johnny law with some cuffs in his hands. I said I done nothing wrong, why'm I under suspicion? he said "Because boy you just fit the description."
Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw,(Johnny law oh Johnny law) Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, (Johnny law, oh Johnny law) OH you'd think he'd be more fun the way he's always around but he only shows up just to shut us down.
