I´ve declared a truce, so stop your fighting
the marshall is in town
I won´t put up with no big mouth yapping
at least not while I´m around
This is my friend Ace, he´s from the 8th precinct

nothing goes on that he don´t know
And we´ve been send cause your arguments
have been going on for too long
And before one of you hurts the other one of you
I´m declaring martial law

I came, I saw, I declared martial law
I´m the marshall in the city
The jails are filled with people like you
you oughta listen to your diddy-wah-diddy
What´s a girl like you doing with that lamp
you better drop it down on the floor
And son, that isn´t very smart
kicking a hole in that door
Hey, Ace will you take a look at this place
and get those neighbors out of the hall
I´m declaring martial law

I came, I saw, I declared martial law
´cause I´m the marshall in the city
And if you stand away, I´ve got something to say
that I might even help you
Keep your hands to yourself and keep your big mouth shut
don´t you touch nobody with hate-hate-hate-hate
And if all you´ve got is poison in your mouth
make sure that you don´t speak
It´s 3:30 in the early morning
don´t punch, don´t scratch, don´t bite
Try not to take the garbage of the day
any place but outside

Now me and Mr. Ace are gonna leave this place
and this fighting´s gonna end
And if we´re called back, I´m gonna knock you flat

and stack you end to end

Ah, I came, I saw, I declared martial law
I´m the marshall in the city
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
I´m the marshall in the city, ooohhh
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
I´m the marshall in the city
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
´cause I´m the marshall in the city
