(Thompson/Madness)
Up I rush off to work
Hello Fred you look half dead and
Are you coming are you going
I could never do a double shift(Allo Fred get some bed Fred)
Hello Steve long time no see
I like the 
Stones still on the thieve
Bet you ain't half seen some time
In your short-lived life of crime(By the way, have you got the time ?)
On the beat 
PeteWiv me size ten feet
I wander up and down the town
For me that's a treat
The beauties of the city and
Everything's sweet
For me that's a treat'
Cos I'm on the beat 
PeteSwing my truncheon merrily
Try to teach the blind to see
Move a lady for a seat
Tourist find a sight to see
Mingle with the crowd
I wonder if they're proud
Yes, that would be a treat'
Cos I'm on the beat 
Pete... beat 
PeteHello 
Snowball, you still drunk ?
Here have a smoke, anyone for lunch ?
A printed person of last week's times
Seen a lot of stars and moonshine(Spare you a dime ?)
On the beat 
PeteWiv me size ten feet
I wander up and down the town
For me that's a treat
The beauties of the city and
Everything's sweet
For me that's a treat'
Cos I'm on the beat 
PeteSwing my truncheon merrily
Try to teach the blind to see
Move a lady for a seat
Tourist find a sight to see
Mingle with the crowd
I wonder if they're proud
Yes, that would be a treat'
Cos I'm on the beat 
Pete... beat 
PeteHello 
Bun been down the oven ?
What's the rate for a single person ?
Is it good, is it sad ?
You look unhappy it must be bad
Hello May been a busy lady
All work and no time for play
Still it's the life you chose 
I supposeGood luck to you come what may !
Skip-a-di-do-da-days !
