Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
We don't need no intervention
Keep your cover on information
We got boys down at the station
Take the floor, break the law
Call it crime prevention
Got a grip on the population
Know your name and number, darling (darling)
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
You need co-operation
Gotta pay for your own protection
And the state's too scared to mention
Take the floor, break the law
Gonna cut out all emotion
Let's shake up this commotion
Shake now like a soldier, darling (darling)
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
(Ain't no language of love)
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
We don't need no intervention
Keep your cover on information
We got boys down at the station
Take the floor, break the law
Call it crime prevention
Got a grip on the population
Know your name and number, darling (darling)
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun (ain't no language of love)
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun (ain't no language of love)
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun (ain't no language of love)
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun (ain't no language of love)
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
