Hill street blues, I got the Hillstreet blues;
I got the hill street blues on my mind;
and I haven't got time;
and I ain't got time;
Just ain't got no time, just enough time;
to fight crime;

I got jail walkers, street stockers;
I got murderers, thief's and break ins;
I got carjacking's, muggings and shopliftings;
Barking dogs, dim lit bars, juveniles;
and I haven't got time;
and I ain't got no time, just enough time;
to fight crime;

Hill street blues I got the Hill street blues;
I got the Hill street blues on my mind;
and I ain't got time;
just got time;
ain't got time
to unwind, while fighting crime. . .
