Robyn Hitchcock - Do Policemen Sing? lyrics

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 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 ruddy 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
