Noise police are coming please keep it down
they’re gonna kick your asses outta this town
they’re gonna call the cops
(it's our weekend too )
so throw the door open and yell fuck you
"Hope you understand our point of view,
it's way too loud, you're ruining our barbeque.
We'll take it to the city if you don't keep it down.
We are the noise police, we earned our silly frowns.
every Saturday you practice- for hours and hours
it's very intrusive, we’ll cut the power.
Matlock is on and its up full blast
we do not enjoy it so turn it down fast!"
we saw you in your yard
while you were mowing your lawn
and invited you over
to sing our song
you showed up early with burgers and beer
and joined in the fun
gave us a cheer
i said
yes we will turn it up we'll all have fun now
