Artist/Band: Robyn Hitchcock
Lyrics for Song: Do Policemen Sing?
Lyrics for Album: I Wanna Go Backwards [2007]



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-ah

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 "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 gonna break down

Our law and order's never never never never never never gonna break down
