dan aykroyd and tom hanks - city of crime lyrics

[spoken: dan aykroyd]
this is the city. it’s a city of crime. my name is friday. i carry a badge

3:15 a.m., thursday, january 15. it was chilly that morning in the city of angels. on this particular occasion we happened to witness a pagan ritual in progress

[dan aykroyd] see that, streebek? we’re just in time
we have stumbled into a major crime
[tom hanks] they’ve got the girl all fright
now that’s not nice
i think she is the subject of a sacrifice
[dan aykroyd] buddy, we’re putting this party on ice
[tom hanks] but first you know we really ought to read ’em their rights
[dan aykroyd] read ‘em their rights
read ‘em their rights

[tom hanks]
well, i’m here tonight to rap about your rights
’cause right now you’re in trouble
don’t have to say nothing at all, you all got two calls
and you’d better make ‘em on the double

[chorus]
this is a city of crime
don’t step out of line
this is a city of crime
you’d better be praying your judge is kind

[dan aykroyd]
you’re a dangerous mob and it is our job
to bust you all for being violent
while we are here let’s state it clear
[tom hanks] you have the right to remain silent!

[glenn hughes]
well, excuse me copper, mr. crimestopper
what is wrong with what we’re doing?
we just like to dance in our goatskin pants
around this ancient ruin

[tom hanks] now it’s not so funny
that it costs big money
if you ever have to hire a lawyer
[dan aykroyd] it’s my duty to inform you
and my pleasure to warn you
[tom hanks] we’ll provide one for ya!
huh!

[chorus]
this is a city of crime
don’t step out of line
this is a city of crime
you’re looking at seven to nine

[dan aykroyd] now you know what you’ve been doing is a serious crime
[tom hanks] and you’ll probably be doing some serious time
[dan aykroyd] in case you might be worried about the friends you lose
[tom hanks] at least they get to see you on the evening news
[dan aykroyd] it’s a new sensation
[tom hanks] we go down to the station
[dan aykroyd] you’re going to answer some questions
[tom hanks] and have some refreshments

[spoken: dan aykroyd]
what is your full name? what were you doing on january 15th of this year? all we want is the truth, mister. what were you doing in the location in question? what is the purpose of your pagan organization?

[glenn hughes]
whoa! you can’t pin nothing on me copper!

well, excuse me
excuse me
don’t use or abuse or refuse me
it’s no joke, i’m broke
my rights i can and will invoke
i’m homely, and i’m lonely
but the state cannot disown me
it’s ain’t funny
i might want money
to take home to my honey

[chorus]
this is a city of crime
don’t step out of line
this is a city of crime
where an honest man is hard to find

[dan aykroyd]
in case you don’t agree
with my methodology
i like to do things my way

(don’t get memory loss
about who’s the boss)

[dan aykroyd] don’t forget my name is

(friday!)

[dan aykroyd] i’m the man of the hour
[tom hanks] the tower of power
[dan aykroyd] i’m the arm of the law
[tom hanks] the very last straw
[dan aykroyd] i’m on the side of the right
[tom hanks] a trojan white knight
[dan aykroyd] if you get me uptight i am
[tom hanks] a frightening sight
[dan aykroyd] i’m as strong as the army
[tom hanks] nothing can’t harm me
[dan aykroyd] coming down like a hammer

(get ready for the slammer)
