London Bobby -

Oh I’m just a London bobby

And I don’t know why they sent me to the bush

With all the creepy crawlies

That are creepin' up me drawers

I could easy give the job the push

I used to walk me beat

Down old Trafalgar Square

Piccadilly Circus and the Strand

But names like Penalongha

Bulawayo and Bingura

Are a little bit too much to understand

La la la la la la la la la la la la

Oh I’m just a London bobby

It’s just for mad dogs and Englishmen

Me skin is going pink

And it isn’t from the drink

Me helmet doesn’t stop the midday sun

I used to get me orders

Direct from Scotland Yard

And tourists used to take me photograph

But now i’m just a 'nana

Standing at a polling booth

And all they do is look at me and laugh

La la la la la la la la la la la la

Oh I’m just a London bobby

And fighting crime has always been me job

They took away me truncheon

And sent me to a place

Where there’s nothing left for anyone to rob

When I was just a lad

Saw a poster on a wall

It said join the force and have a better life

Now they’re sending me to Wankie

And they say it’s just a town

But how do I explain that to me wife

I’m just a London bobby

And I don’t know why they sent me to the bush

With all the creepy crawlies

That are creepin' up me drawers

I could easy give the job the push
