_ See them cops, they believe everything they read in the papers about us cruddy JDs.
So that's what we give them.
Something to believe in.
Hey, you! _
Who, me, Officer Krupke?
Yeah, you!
Give me one good reason for [B] not dragging you down to the station house, you punk!
_ _ Dear, _ kind Sergeant Krupke, you [E] gotta understand,
It's just our bringin' up key [F] that gets us out of hand.
Our mothers all are junkies, [Bb] our fathers all are drunks. _
[G] Golly, [Gb] Moses, [B] naturally we're punks.
Gee, Officer Krupke, we're very upset.
We [Gb] never had the love that every child ought to get.
[Em] We ain't no [B] delinquents, we're [Ab] misunderstood. _
[Ab] Deep down inside us, there is good.
There [G] is good.
There is good.
There is [D] good.
There is _ unsatisfied.
[A] Like inside, the worst [B] of us is good.
Yeah!

_ [C] _ _ Such a good story!
Let me tell it to the world!
Just tell it to the judge!
Let me [G] tell it to the world!
_ _ _ _ Bl [E] _ _ _ -bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl.
Dear, [C] _ _ kindly judge, Your Honor, [Fm] my parents treat me rough,
With [G] all their marijuana, [Gb] they won't give me a puff.
They didn't wanna have me, [Ebm] but somehow I was had,
[Eb] Leaf [Ab] on [G] lizards, that's why [C] I'm so bad.
[F] Officer [C] Krupke, you're really a square!

In the opinion [Ab] of the escort, this child is depraved.
On account he ain't had a normal home.
