A Crime in Your Town

I came into town,
Went looking' round
For some place quiet,
I got off the bus,
What’s ball the fuss
Looked like a riot.
A crime in your town,
A crime in your town.
Crowd was running mad,
Looked pretty bad,
Tried to avoid it,
Ran the other day
Heard some one say
«He must have done it.»
A crime in your town,
A crime in your town.
I looked round to see,
Eyes fixed on me,
The crowd was charging,
Head began to swirl
And then some girl screamed
«Hey we’ve got it!».
A crime in your town,
A crime in your town.
I cried «It's not me It couldn’t be Why I just got here»,
But with all the noise
The people voices
No one could hear.
A crime in your town,
A crime in your town.
Just as I collapsed,
A cop at last
Came running over,
The crowd was closing in
«We saw it all
For you it’s over.»
A crime in your town,
A crime in your town.
A crime in your town,
A crime in your town.
Cop said '"On your feet
Hey I can’t keep
Them off forever,
When things calm back down
Come back to town",
I answered «Never!»
