Come, get out of the way, boys

You'd better watch what you say, boys

We've rammed in your harbor and tied to your port

        E                          A
And our pistols are hungry and our tempers are short

    E          B7       E             A    G#m  A
So bring your daughters around to the port

'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys

B7                    E

We pick and choose as please, boys

Pick and choose as please

G              C            G      C
You'd best get down on your knees, boys

G        C            B7
Best get down on your knees

E                         A
We're hairy and horny and ready to shack

E                       A
We don't care if you're yellow or black

     E             B7              E            A    G#m  A
Just take off your clothes and lie down on your back

       B7                    E
'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys

B7                    E

Our boots are needing a shine, boys

Boots are needing a shine

G            C       G     C
But our Coca-cola is fine, boys

G    C       B7
Coca-cola is fine

E                            A
We've got to protect all our citizens fair

E                             A
So we'll send a battalion for everyone there

    E           B7         E         A    G#m  A
And maybe we'll leave in a couple of years

       B7                    E
'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys

B7                    E
We're the Cops of the World

E         A        E     A
Dump the reds in a pile, boys

E        A         E   E7
Dump the reds in a pile 

G            C            G      C
You'd better wipe of that smile, boys

G      C              B7
Better wipe off that smile

E                                     A
We'll spit through the streets of the cities we wreck

E                            A
We'll find you a leader that you can't elect

E                 B7            E           A    G#m  A
Those treaties we signed were a pain in the neck

'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys

B7                    E

Clean the johns with a rag, boys

If you like you can use your flag, boys

G      C                     B7
If you like you can use your flag

E                              A
We've got too much money we're looking for toys

    E                     A
And guns will be guns and boys will be boys

    E            B7      E      A      G#m  A
But we'll gladly pay for all we destroy

       B7                    E
'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys

B7                    E
We're the Cops of the World

Please stay off of the grass, boys

Please stay off of the grass

G        C           G    C
Here's a kick in the ass, boys

Here's a kick in the ass

      E                               A
We'll smash down your doors, we don't bother to knock

      E                  A
We've done it before, so why all the shock?

E         B7                   E           A    G#m  A
We're the biggest and toughest kids on the block

'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys

B7                    E
We're the Cops of the World

E       A              E    A
When we butchered your son, boys

E       A              E  E7
When we butchered your son

G      C            G    C
Have a stick of our gum, boys

G      C            B7
Have a stick of our buble-gum

We own half the world, oh say can you see

    E                       A
The name for our profits is democracy

    E          B7            E          A    G#m  A
So, like it or not, you will have to be free

'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
