Do Policemen Sing
Oh do policemen sing? I heard a person cry
We can do anything I heard the force
reply
Oh do policemen sing? Yes when they're in the
mood
And when their truncheons swing That's when they're in the
mood
It's true because I never argue with a rozzer
Never show him insolence, confidence
'Cos who supplies the evidence it's not your mother or your
lover or your best friends dog
Oh do policemen dream? Yes when they're fast
asleep
And when policemen dream It proves they're fast
asleep
Oh do policemen sing? Yes if they've got the
time
And when they sing for you? Just tell them they're
sublime
Don't get stymied, don't say bloody hell or blimey
Don't complain if your beans aren't warm
Oh do policemen sing? Oh yes extremely well
Haven't you heard the Welsh? They really do excel
And are policeman gay? Depends on what you mean
They are not lewd or queer But they all dig the
queen
Open ended, 'specially when you're apprehended, taken in
and...
Our law and order's never, never, never, never, never gonna
break down
Our law and order's never, never, never, never, never gonna
break down
Our law and order's never, never, never, never, never, never
gonna break down
