Van Dyke Parks

G-man Hoover

A B C D E F G G-Man G-Man Hoover

Rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat

Rat tat tat G-Man Hoover

Rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat

Rat tat tat G-Man Hoover

Criminals come but they have one way to go

Gangsters are dumb for by now they ought to know

Stick with care or they gang you over there

Hoover will bring them to the electric chair

A B C D E F G G-Man G-Man Hoover

Young or smart, cruel

Had no heart, fool

You were bad, he was smoother

What a lad G-Man Hoover

Rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat

Rat tat tat G-man Hoover

Stick up a bank grab the dough get out of town

Guess the cops come for your love to mow them down

Shave off your beard change the color of your hair

Step out the door there's hoover waiting there

G-Man G-Man Hoover

You can go now

Don't dare go now

It's a frame you're a loser

To that game of G-Man Hoover

Rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat rat tat tat tat

Rat tat tat G-Man Hoover

Kidnap a child cause to you he's just a brat

His mama's wild she's afraid you'll use your gat

Money's your aim then you'll take it on the lam

Mud is your name Hoover always gets his man

A B C D E F G G-Man G-Man Hoover
