ol' nixon was bowled when the roof caved in
he copped a plea for burglin'
he was let go

he found him some crooks
that broke down a door
and started in to burglin'
he was let go

he was quizzed about the matter
it was wrong, alright
did not last long, alright
did not last long

it was underhanded, there
none disagreed
it shouldn't been
all covered up
now why'd they mask the chore ?

they broke in a room
things got carried away
twas clear an act of burglin'
he was let go

his reputation shattered
he gave up the fight
the case was strong, alright
the case was strong

tried to give a run-around
haphazardly
when brought to task
he lied
but got a pass from ford

he took off in time
and he packed up his things
he would have been kicked anyway
he was let go

ol' nixon was bowled when the roof caved in
he copped a plea for burglin'
he was let go
