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
