5.Star 69

You don't have to take the bar exam to see
What you did is Ignoramous 103

Where have I got to hang my hat
You don't have line to me
All this seems to be a plan
I was there to tell you
Extortion and arson, petty larceny

I know you called
I know you called
I know you called

I know you called
I know you called
I know you hung up my line
Star 69

I know all about the warehouse fire
I know squirrelies didn't chew the wire

Three people have my number
The other two were with me
I don't like to tell-tell
But I'm not your patsy
This time you have gone too far with me

I know you called
I know you called
I know you called

I know you called
I know you called
I know you hung up my line
Star 69

Why'd you put your quarter down on me?
This reads like some dork inside edition Hard Copy
I can't be your character witness, I can't be your alibi
Doorbell rings it's the FBI, we learned Spy vs. Spy
You, my friend, are guilty as can be

I know you called
I know you called
I know you called

I know you called
I know you called
I know you hung up my line

I know you called
I know you called
I know you called

I know you called
I know you called
I can't be your alibi
Star 69
