Why Did You Pull Me Over

You Had No Reason To Pull Me Over By Elton Camp It gave poor Fred quite a fright A siren and a flashing blue light He was certain he wasn’t speeding And that other laws he was heeding He was only trying to get to work Now to be hassled by that jerk Fred buzzed the window down As the swaggering cop came around “What is this? I wasn’t doing a thing.” To the cop’s lips, a sneer did spring “Pal, that’s exactly what they all say. That I shouldn’t be doing ‘em this way.” “Your brother, a senator well may be But that doesn’t mean a thing to me.” “And I know my salary comes from you. I’ve already heard that one plenty, too.” “Your were driving with a phone to your ear. To road’s center and edge you came near.” “A cheeseburger is clutched in your right hand. Between your knees, a drink cup does stand.” “In your left hand you are holding a French fry. To control your vehicle it is impossible to try.” Your seat belt and shoulder strap hang loose For these safety violations, there is no excuse “I’ll list all the charges you will face When the judge will hear your case.”
