Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

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
