verse 1 E Standin' on the corner E Not doin' nothin' to no one E When a squad car stops E And out jump cops E7 You one of them, if I ever saw one A Wonder what I said A As my face turned red A7 Up against the wall, says the tall one E That's a cute mustache E Have ya got any hash? E7 I'd like to make a buy, says the small oneverse 2 E Me and Mr. Hohner E In Yuma, Arizona E Tryin' to hitch a ride to Denver E Well, out of a toll E Comes the highway patrol E7 To check up on my gender A Is it her or him A Or maybe Tiny Tim? A7 Now up against the fence, says the dense one E You have picked a bad spot E To smoke your pot E7 Whatcha gonna do two against one?A Now da whole thing's silly A But I'm starin' at the billy A7 Quietly askin' myself now will he E Use that thing E To make my eardrums ring E7 It's all a bad dream E7 And I'm in South Philly E Now tell 'em, Mr. Hohnerverse 3 E Me and Mr. Hohner E Relaxin' out at Kona E Hawaiian sun can be groovy E When a pair of MPs E Yell out, freeze! E7 And I think I gotta part in a movie A Hey! I'm talkin' to you A Tell me what did I do? A7 You're a draft card burner, says the thin one E We can tell by your looks E That you read too many books of wars E7 And that's because ya ain't been in oneA Now da whole thing's silly A But I'm starin' at the billy A7 Quietly askin' myself now will he E Use that thing E To make my eardrums ring E7 It's all a bad dream E7 And I'm in South Philly E Now tell 'em, Mr. HohnerA Now the whole thing's silly A But I'm starin' at the billy A7 Quietly askin' myself now will he E Use that thing E To make my eardrums ring E7 It's all a bad dream E7 And I'm in South Philly E Now tell 'em, Mr. Hohner
