Hey, hey Mr. policeman
Bet I can drive faster than you can
Come on hoss, let's have some fun
Go on shoot me with your radar gun
You look bored and I sure am
Catch me if you can

Hey, hey Mr. policeman
I got a '75 firebird trans am
With a 455 up under the hood
Me and my brother got it running good
Wake up behind them old ray bans
Catch me if you can

Go on turn on your blue lights, so pretty
You know you want to I just flew by
I can see you peeling out
How's my dust taste in your mouth
Come on smokey it's time to race
Let's have us a high-speEd chase

Hey, hey Mr. policeman
Chopper in the air
And a couple of SWAT vans
Thats no fair now, blocking the road
Where am I supposed to go
Time to use my backup plan
Catch me if you can

Hey, hey Mr. policeman
I bet I can run faster than you can
With your big pot belly and your cowboy boots
A hundred bucks says you wont shoot
I know these woods like the back of my hand
Catch me if you can

Go on turn on your spotlight, so shiny
I got running shoes and I'm younger than you
And I got all night
There's no way you're keeping up with me
So go on back to Krispy Kreme
If you wanna quit, I understand
Catch me if you can

Hey, hey Mr. policeman
Hey, hey, Mr. policeman

(musical break)

I'm in the jailhouse now
I'm in the jailhouse now
They told me once or twice
Son respect my authority
I'm in the jailhouse now
