[Verse 1]
By day he writes the reports
Keys on his belt, badge on his chest
Coffee gone cold in the break room
Keeps the peace like he knows best
He clocks out with the sunset
Kisses the kids on the head
Checks the hall for monsters
Then he turns into a legend instead
[Pre-Chorus]
Zip ties in the drawer
Cape hidden in the van
One good swing of the closet door
And the night gets a new man
[Chorus]
Star spangled speedo
Mullet wig and boots
Star spangled speedo
Righting wrongs in the suburbs too
He’s your deputy hero
(Deputy hero)
Star spangled speedo
And he’s coming through
[Verse 2]
Blacktop under moonlight
He’s patrolling the cul-de-sac
Trouble in the minivan
Better run when he cracks his back
Snack bags in the driveway
He hears a cry, he’s on the scene
Saving pets and lawn flamingos
Like a red-white-and-blue machine
[Pre-Chorus]
Badge by day, mask by night
Same old grin, same hard heart
When the porch light flickers twice
That’s when the trouble starts
[Chorus]
Star spangled speedo
Mullet wig and boots
Star spangled speedo
Righting wrongs in the suburbs too
He’s your deputy hero
(Deputy hero)
Star spangled speedo
And he’s coming through
[Bridge]
He don’t need a fancy name
He don’t need a bat cave
Just a cold front on his collar
And the code that he will save
[Breakdown]
Hey!
Boots on the gravel
Hey!
Justice in the back seat
Hey!
Heard it in the hallway
Hey!
Now the whole block’s on repeat
[Final Chorus]
Star spangled speedo
Mullet wig and boots
Star spangled speedo
Righting wrongs in the suburbs too
He’s your deputy hero
(Deputy hero)
Star spangled speedo
And he’s coming through
Star spangled speedo
(Coming through)
Star spangled speedo
(Coming through)
