Shady antics,
if you try your cheap tricks,
you're hooked!
Even if he acts like a big shot,
whoever he may be,
he's getting locked right up!

Hey!
Sharp and tight,
sharp and tight!
A lion emblem on the front of my cap,
a gun in my hand,
stars on my shoulder,
patrolling rounds in my Gypsy trailing behind!
Whether he's a gangster,
or a politician,
I'll beat him black and blue,
smash his face,
and show my sheer power!

if you try your cheap tricks,
you're hooked!

Even if he acts like a big shot,
whoever he may be,
he's getting locked right up!
I am pure fire!
Towards the public,
look how much responsibility I bear!
Move aside and behave,
or I'll slap a case on you
and give you a welcome with booted heels!
I am...
Male: Pure fire, man!
Chorus: Come close...
Male: Then you'll know, man!
Chorus: If you touch...
Male: Your thighs will tremble on their own!
La la la la...
I am...
Male: A ranger!
Chorus: But...
Male: Extremely dangerous!
Chorus: If you cross him...
Male: He will be in deep trouble!
Collecting bribes,
I am not that kind of man.
For truth and for justice,
I will stand right on the frontline, man!

I will carry my pride,
and anyone who runs and hides,
I will hunt down and thrash!
I will stop what is wrong.
If they won't reform when told,
I will finish their story!
Police...
Male: If you clash with the police,
Chorus: The knee...
Male: will get knocked out of place!
Chorus: In remand...
Male: If we haul you up and beat you,
your trousers will get torn!
With pride...
Male: I will stand and speak.
Chorus: In style...
Male: I will wear my uniform.
Chorus: If anyone glares...
Male: I'll slap him twice
and show him who's boss!
Not all police officers
are bad, you know.
Just because an order is given,
a cop who shoots down blindly,
I am not that kind either, you know!
Shady antics,
if you try your cheap tricks,
you're hooked!
Even if he acts like a big shot,
whoever he may be,
he's locked up, whoever he is,
locked right up!
