  • Well I'm six foot nothing of muscle and bone
    With my Colt .45 I weigh seventeen stone
    Got a Stetson hat and a big cigar
    And I clean up trouble with my little tin star

    Law and Order... trouble in a bulletproof vest
    Law and Order... I'm the troubleshooting king of the West

    Well I cleaned up the commies and the longhaired bums
    All the Chinee, queers and Red Indian scum
    I cleaned out the liquor, loose women and dope
    And put the uppity niggers on the end of a rope

    Law and Order... trouble in a bulletproof vest
    Law and Order... I'm the troubleshooting king of the West

    My mommy held tupperware parties
    Had acne when I was a boy
    Headed out West - expanded my chest
    Now they treat me like the real McCoy

    Now I never get trouble from nobody else
    I can sit right back and feel proud of myself
    Got the cleanest city this side of the West
    It's so damn clean there ain't nobody left

    Law and Order... trouble in a bulletproof vest
    Law and Order... I'm the troubleshooting king of the West

    I'm the cotton-pickin', high fallutin',
    Rooty-tootin', put-the-boot-in
    Troubleshooting king of the West Writer/s: Dolphin Taylor, Nicholas Plytas, Thomas Robinson
