Police Encounters Lyrics

From the West Coast gonna take a plane
Hit the East Coast gonna take an A train
Hit the East Coast, going all the way
Why don't you come to Harlem?

All the spies went out to sea
But I remained in Harlem
Had to pay my parking fees
Felt just like P.T. Barnum

Caught a couple Pinter plays
I should have stayed in Harlem
Then I heard a policeman say
I think we should disarm him
I think we should strong-arm him
So out of place in Harlem

Then I see you standing there
In your dyed black hair
And no underwear

Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters

Caught a couple Albee plays
I should have stayed in Harlem
Then I heard a policeman say
Do your best to not alarm him
I've got eyes for, eyes for the policeman's wife
In her died black hair, and her Bowie knife
I've got eyes for, eyes for the policeman's wife
The policeman's wife, the policeman's wife, the policeman's wife, the policeman's wife

Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters

Diddy diddy, (bomp bom) diddy diddy, (bomp bom) diddy diddy
Police encounters
Diddy diddy, (bomp bom) diddy diddy
Police encounters

Unions went on strike today
But I remained in Harlem
I've got eyes for, eyes for the policeman's wife
In her died black hair, and her Bowie knife
As I see her standing there alone
In her dyed black hair, and her Android phone

Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy diddy
Bomp bom diddy
Police encounters
Bomp bom

A Violent Death

Collaborations Don't Work

So Many Bridges

Little Guy from the Suburbs

From the West Coast gonna take a plane
 Hit the East Coast gonna take an A train
 Hit the East Coast, going all the way
 Why don't you come to Harlem?

All the spies went out to sea
 But I remained in Harlem
 Had to pay my parking fees
 Felt just like P.T. Barnum

Caught a couple Pinter plays
 I should have stayed in Harlem
 Then I heard a policeman say
 I think we should disarm him
 I think we should strong-arm him
 So out of place in Harlem

Then I see you standing there
 In your dyed black hair
 And no underwear

Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy
 Police encounters
 Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy
 Police encounters

Caught a couple Albee plays
 I should have stayed in Harlem
 Then I heard a policeman say
 Do your best to not alarm him
 I've got eyes for, eyes for the policeman's wife
 In her died black hair, and her Bowie knife
 I've got eyes for, eyes for the policeman's wife
 The policeman's wife, the policeman's wife, the policeman's wife, the policeman's wife

Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy
 Police encounters
 Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy diddy
 Bomp bom diddy
 Police encounters

Diddy diddy, (bomp bom) diddy diddy, (bomp bom) diddy diddy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
