The Law Says No

I met a girl so young and sweet:
just like candy, good enough to eat.
I wonder should I try to make her scene.
She says, "take me home--I'm almost seventeen."
What can you do when the law says no?
If the man ain't here, who's gonna know?
I never knew much of right or wrong.
I guess that's why I wrote this song.
The place was jumping, the band was hot.
The crowd was hungry for what we got.
The music we were playing carried over town
until the police come and they shut us down.
Chorus
Smokin' sinse in the alley outside.
Just me and the boys, no place to hide.
Well, if the cops next door go and catch a whiff
dey gonna take us in.
I ain't apologizing for the shape I'm in.
Chorus
