"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
'Cause who supplies the evidence it's not your mother or your lover or your best friend's 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
