Lyrics and translation Charles Penrose - The Laughing Policeman

I know a fat old policeman

He's always on our street

A fat and jolly red-faced man

He really is a treat

He's too kind for a policeman

He's never known to frown

And everybody says he is the

Happiest man in town!

Oh, ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!

Ooh-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha!

Ooh ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!

О, хо-хо-хо, ха-ха-ха, ха-ха-ха-ха-ха-ха-ха!

Ooh ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!

О, ха-ха-ха, ха-ха-ха, ха-ха-ха-ха-ха-ха-ха!

He laughs upon point duty

Он смеется над своим долгом

He laughs upon his beat

Он смеется в такт своему ритму

He laughs at everybody when he's

Он смеется над всеми, когда он

Walking in the street

Иду по улице

He never can stop laughing

Он никогда не может перестать смеяться

He says he's never tried

Он говорит, что никогда не пробовал

But once he did arrest a man

Но однажды он все-таки арестовал человека

And laughed until he cried!

И смеялся до слез!

Oh ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!

Ooh! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha!

Oh ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!

His jolly face is wrinkled

And then he shut his eyes

He opened his great mouth

It was a wonderous size

He said, "I must arrest you"

He didn't know what for

And then he started laughing

Until he cracked his jaw!

Oh ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!

Ooh! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha!

Ooh! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha, ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha!

Oh ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha!

So, if you chance to meet him

When walking 'round the town

Just shake him by his fat old hand

And give him half a crown

His eyes will beam and sparkle

He'll gurgle with delight

And then you'll start him laughing

With all his blessed might!

Oh ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!

Ooh! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha!

Ooh ha-ha, ooh ha! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha!
