On The Beat Pete

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 Pete
Wiv 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 Pete
Swing 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 Pete

Hello 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 Pete
Wiv 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 Pete
Swing 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 Pete

Hello 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 suppose
Good luck to you come what may!
Skip-a-di-do-da-days!

On the beat Pete
Wiv 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 Pete
Swing 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 Pete
