Thread Name: Law Officers in Songs & Children's Rhymes
Subject: RE: Law Officers in Songs &Children's Rhymes
So far, this thread includes songs and/or children's rhymes that mention policemen, police ladies, judges, traffic cops, magistrates, and judges. Also, we've mentioned songs and/or children's rhymes that mention deputies, highway deputies {which I suppose aren't necessarily the same as deputies}, and revenue officers.
Plus, we've mentioned, or listed songs that use colloquial terms for officers of the law such as cops, and LEOs, and peelers, and what! no fuzz? And I probably have forgotten some other law officers or terms for law officers that have been mentioned in the songs & rhymes that have been posted on this thread thus far.
But here's a type of law enforcement officer that hasn't been mentioned yet on this thread-the FBI.
I Believe I Can Fly {Example #1} I believe I can fly. I'm being chased by the FBI. It's all because of those collard greens that I ate with those chicken wings. I believe I can soar See me running through that open door. I believe I can fly. I believe I can fly. -elementary school age African American girls & boys in various neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, PA, 1999, 2000
Editor: This is a parody of R. Kelly's hit R&B song "I Believe I Can Fly".
