( Police stakeout song lyrics )
IT'S JUST A JOB
Copyright © 2000 - mickterry.com

1: It was supposed to be a stakeout,
from in the house next door.
With 'scopes and notes and taping,
they really can be bor-ing.
But Wesson had to wander
into the neighbor's yard.
It was suppposed to be a stakeout ...

2: Yes, the subject's wife was stunning,
sunbathing by the pool.
And Wesson had to saunter by
and chat like any fool --.
It wasn't our eyes only
observing this cute scene.
Yes, the subject's wife was stunning ...

CHORUS:
It's just a job, I keep saying, just a job.
No matter how much I love it or
the good that I can do.
It's just a job, I keep saying, just a job.
It's just a job.

BRIDGE:
The subject sent two gorillas
to squash this troublesome pest.
But Wesson had to shoot off his mouth
and wouldn't let it rest.
He taunted, teased and cajoled them
'til he ducked inside our back door.
The subject sent two gorillas
and they brought back four more.

3: Then they smashed the door like kindling &
stormed their way upstairs
to teach some punk a lesson.
But guess what they found there --?
Three cops with 'scopes and cameras
and tape recording gear.
Then they smashed the stuff like kindling ...
CHORUS:

4: If it wasn't for the Kevlar,
I'd be a hole-y man.
Shot through three vital organs,
no way that I'd be stand-ing.
My life would pass before me,
so quickly come and gone.
If it wasn't for the Kevlar ...
CHORUS:
