Criminals come, but they have one way to go.
Gangsters are dumb,
for by now they ought to know.
Stick with care, or they gang you over there.
Hoover will bring them to the electric chair.

Young or smart,
cruel,
have no heart,
fool.
You were bad, he was smoother.
What a lad, G-man, Hoover.

Pick up a black rat,
the dog,
you get out of town.
Guess the cops come for your love,
to mow them down.
Shave your beard, change the color of your hair.
Step out the door, there's Hoover waiting.
G-man, G-man, Hoover.
You can go now,
but don't dare go now.
It's a frame, you're a loser,
to that game of G-man, Hoover.

Kidnap a child, cause to you he's just a brat.
His mama's wild,
she's afraid you'll use your gat.
Money's your aim,
then you'll take it on the lam.
What is your name?
Hoover always gets his man.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
