[harmonica solo] (Verse 1) I was painting a mural, just minding my biz, When Officer Jones showed up, said, “What’s all this?” I said, “It’s art, man, can’t you see?” He scratched his head, said, “Looks like graffiti to me.” [harmonica solo] (Chorus) Oh, the artist and the cop, what a funny pair, One loves the canvas, the other keeps it fair. With a brush and a badge, they both play their part, In the colorful dance of life and art. [harmonica solo] (Verse 2) I was strumming my guitar, on the corner of Main, When Officer Smith said, “Hey, what’s your name?” I said, “I’m just a singer, spreading some cheer,” He said, “Keep it down, buddy, folks are trying to hear.” [harmonica solo] (Chorus) Oh, the artist and the cop, what a funny pair, One loves the canvas, the other keeps it fair. With a brush and a badge, they both play their part, In the colorful dance of life and art. [harmonica solo] (Bridge) We both laughed, shared a smile, Turns out we’re not so different, after a while. He loves his job, and I love mine, Together we make the world a little more fine. [harmonica solo] [guitar solo] (Verse 3) If I knew I needed higher creativity, I’d get myself a detective’s degree. Solving mysteries, painting scenes, Life’s a canvas, full of dreams. [harmonica solo] (Chorus) Oh, the artist and the cop, what a funny pair, One loves the canvas, the other keeps it fair. With a brush and a badge, they both play their part, In the colorful dance of life and art. [harmonica solo]
