You know they come around town the midnight rambler

The night shift gotta go

O'Malley turned and baby got burned

Went the way of the buffalo

To protect and serve their tryin' to keep the peace

The rattler'll tell ya that there ain't no mercy

On the corner of 42nd street



Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street

Blue Thunder...The only number that ya need



Up to no good in the neighborhood

A broken chain of command

O'Hara snapped and got his head bad

With cold beer and a percodan

Shotgun blast mini mac justice

When will the madness end

East side, West side all fired up

No rest for the policeman



The streets are insane

On a night full of danger

Honey don't you get caught

In a city by a stranger

It's a contact sport in the game of life

Hear a shot out your window tonight

You're ready for the hell to end, you're callin'



Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street

Blue Thunder...The only number that ya need



An officers killed he was on the run

A ten year old shot him just for fun

He had two kids and a beautiful wife

One split second blinded by the light

Take a chance on the midnight dance, talk about livin' hell

There's one or twenty losers trapped in the Tropicana Motel



The streets are insane

On a night full of danger

Honey don't you get caught

In a city by a stranger

It's a contact sport in the game of life

Hear a shot out your window tonight

You're ready for the hell to end, you're callin'



Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street

Blue Thunder...The only number that ya need

Blue Thunder...The keepers of the street...callin

Blue Thunder... The only number that ya need
