That’s what you get
You dirty coppers
Little Jimmy Cagney said
Thirteen rounds in the hopper
Then the cops made Jimmy dead
Copper penny for your thoughts
Copper jacket full of lead
They wanted little Jimmy Cagney dead
That's what you get you dirty copper
You get thirteen rounds in the hopper

Mama mama how he yelled
He told them coppers he could fly
From the gasoline tank when he got nailed

​

He's yelling you dirty rats
It's one big lie
And the crowd yelled back
Fly Jimmy fly
All the excitement everybody got high

Mama mama how he yelled

From the gasoline tank when he got nailed

​

Where have you gone my love

Now that I have found my way

Where have you gone my love

Now that I am old and gray

​

Bells are ringing choirs are singing
Step out in the field
If you are looking for trouble

Man you can find it
But come out swinging

Out in the field the farmers burning the stubble

Out in the field people living in the rubble

But only come out if you are looking for trouble

Bells are ringing
Choirs are singing
You get what you want
But come out swinging

​

Where have you gone my love

Now that I have found my way

Where have you gone my love

Now that I am old and gray

​

That's what you get
Little Jimmy Cagney said

Thirteen rounds in the hopper
Then the cops made Jimmy dead

Copper penny for your thoughts

Copper jacket full of lead
They wanted little Jimmy Cagney dead

That’s what you get
You dirty coppers
You get thirteen rounds in the hopper

Mama mama how he yelled

Told them coppers
You go to hell

Mama mama how he yelled

From the gasoline tank when he got nailed

​

Where have you gone my love

Now that I have found my way

Where have you gone my love

Now that I am old and gray
