[Verse 1]
Riding on their Harleys on the freeway fighting crime
John and Poncherello got the crooks doing time
Columbo solves a murder, he’s always in that mac
He winds up all the killers 'cause he keeps on coming back
Kojak is so upbeat, he is a proper cop
Can't have any teeth left 'cause of all the lollipops
The Sweeney come from London, Regan hard as nails
A violent foul-mouthed copper but he fills up all the jails
[Chorus]
Let’s play – cops and robbers
(Let’s play) – they’re on TV
Let’s play – the bad and the ugly
Always on TV
[Verse 2]
Sherlock holmes is old school, got Watson by his side
Loves his girls and hard drugs, a master of disguise
Hutch and Starsky in their car chase dealers thieves and thugs
Get their information from a bear that they call Hugs
Detective Sonny Crockett, fights Miami vice
Wears horrendous t-shirts, he thinks that they are nice
We all love the coppers, we love what's in the can
But we also love the robbers who wind up in the slam
[Chorus]
Let’s play – cops and robbers
(Let’s play) – they’re on TV
Let’s play – the bad and the ugly
Always on TV
Let’s play – cops and robbers
(Let’s play) – they’re on TV
Let’s play – the bad and the ugly
Always on TV
[Chorus]
Let’s play – cops and robbers
(Let’s play) – they’re on TV
Let’s play – the bad and the ugly
Always on TV
Let’s play – cops and robbers
(Let’s play) – they’re on TV
Let’s play – the bad and the ugly
Always on TV
