Hello Officer, old friend,
I see you've gotten me again.
It would appear that I was speeding
And my detector was not beeping.
In the mirror
That hangs in front of my head
I saw red
And heard the sound of sirens.

In my daydreams I think of speed,
An autobahn is what I need
But I'm just on the In-terstate
Don't know I'm speeding 'til it's too late
When I passed the trap
And the flash of the Hi-Po's lights
Split through the night
I heard the sound of sirens.

And in my dashboard light I saw
My speed was 80 miles per hour
I took my lead foot off of the gas,
And hoped somebody faster would pass
But nobody did,
So I pulled off to the side,
Cop behind,
And heard the sound of sirens.

"Sir," said I, "You must be wrong,
I've done the limit all along."
"Are you sure?," said the cop to me,
Held his radar gun so I'd see.
And my words....they dropped off instantly
And I wished he'd turn off that siren.

The patrolman knew I'd lied
His radar gun was programmed right
And he wrote me up a warning
Said, "Best not be here in the morning,"
He continued, "Okay, you can go now
But don't ever do that again --
Wait, Code 10!"
And drove off, with the sound of sirens.
