This was one of my favorite songs, but it was recorded on tape by a friend and I never knew who did it. It was acoustic guitar, single musician. I suspect it might have been Steve Goodman, but which album? I include all the lyrics below: I came home last Saturday Night and Whaddya think I found? I went to open my kitchen door And the door had been broke down I walked into the livin' room Whaddya think I seen Four great big, old ugly dudes Just sittin' there waitin' for me I said "Gangsters, Burglars Who the hell are you?" You look like a bunch of mobsters Or maybe monkeys from the zoo If is wasn't for the cut of your crummy clothes Which has me in some doubt I'd think you was a bunch of Mafia thugs Come here to rub me out.” They said "Beatnik, prevert, Don't talk that way to me, We found your roommate with a stash of hash A couple o' cubes of LSD, There's a bottle of Miltowns on your dresser And you're as good as dead If ya' wanna keep your body all attached Just keep a civil tongue in your head!" It was Police, the Police! By Christ, I shoulda seen The Mafia men they ain't near as dumb And nowhere half as mean Well they threw me up against the wall I said, "No please don't, stop! If ya' hit me just about one more time I swear I'm gonna call a cop!" It was reefer, reefer, reefer Hash and LSD, "Tell us where you got 'em boy And we promise to set you free.” I said "Officer I don't know What you're talkin' about, Besides you're in such a rush! I never set foot in this house before Would ya' like to buy a Fuller brush?" So hipsters and vipers, Got some news for you It's election year in Chicago Better hide all that Boo! Tony Spumoni is a narco man And he's got a nose for grass (some spoken word and sound effects here) If Tony ever catches you turnin' on It's sure gonna be your ass!
