[verse]
Who’s that lurking in the baseball field,
Oh it’s just a cockroach named Paul Stan sill,
His cop car idles, as his head leans back,
His tummy’s full from a doughnut sack,
People slow down as they drive by
Tint so dark you can’t see him inside,
He’ll be taking a nap until his shift ends at dark,
A cockroach asleep in an air conditioned cop car.
[chorus]
Police scanner calling, J.P. Where you at,
He’s in the shade sleeping like a fat cat,
Dispatch is calling for a domestic dispute,
If he wakes up Jerry Paul will be in hot pursuit,
Another long day, now his shift is thru,
Almost quitting time so he grabs coffee in the drive thru,
When tomorrow rolls around he’ll be back at it again,
A.C. Is cold as the cockroach steps in,
Falling asleep underneath the stars,
A cockroach in an air conditioned cop car.
[break]
[solo]
His gun is loaded and he’s keeping the peace,
He only gets out if he needs to take a leak,
It’s law and order on these Henderson streets,
But Paul’s ten seven, and he’ll be out of reach,
[chorus]
Police scanner calling, J.P. Where you at,
He’s in the shade sleeping like a fat cat,
Dispatch is calling for a domestic dispute,
If he wakes up Jerry Paul will be in hot pursuit,
Another long day, now his shift is thru,
Almost quitting time so he grabs coffee in the drive thru,
When tomorrow rolls around he’ll be back at it again,
A.C. Is cold as the cockroach steps in,
Falling asleep underneath the stars,
A cockroach in an air conditioned cop car.
