54-46 (was My Number) Lyrics - Below The Bassline - Ernest Ranglin

I said yeah, listen what I say 

I said hear me now, listen what I say 

I said stick it up mister 

Hear what I say sir 

Get your hands in the air, sir 

And you will get no hurt mister 

Do what I say sir 

Just what I mean sir 

Get your hands in the air, sir 

And you will get no hurt mister 

Second thing they say I must join the office 

Third thing they say, son - give me your number 

He'd say "What's your number?" 

I don't answer 

He'd say "What's your number, man?" 

He'd say "What's your number now?" 

I said "5446, that's my number..." 

First verses again 

5446 was my number 

Stick it up, mister! 

Hear what I say, sir, yeah... 

Get your hands in the air, sir! 

And you will get no hurt, mister, no no no 

I said yeah 

What did I say? 

Don't you hear? I said yeah 

Listen to what I say 

Do you believe I would take something with me 

And give it to the police man? 

I wouldn't do that) And if I do that, I would 

say "sir, put the charge on me" 

I wouldn't do that 

No, I wouldn't do that 

I'm not a fool to hurt myself 

So I was innocent of what they done to me 

They was wrong 

Listen to me, they were wrong 

Give it to me one time 

Give it to me two time 

Give it to me three time 

Give it to me four time 

54 46 was my number 

Right now, someone else has that number
