Policeman Dem Deaf Ah

abominable music, abominably loud
all tru down town, up and down my street
while I wake and while I sleep

police mussie gettin’ pay ta wear uniform
mussie getting pay just ta look pretty

dese people breakin’ law
louder dan when plate drop an’ break

police lookin’ like dey’een hear nuttun
