Y ? on may boast of your heroes in battle
Of your soldier boy the brave behind the gun
No doubt they're true grit willing admit
They're entitled to their glory, every one;
But there's whom they seldom raise pen
To do honor either in poetry OF rhyme
But danger doubt you're apt to shout
And he'll rush to your assistance every time
He's the jolly and the joke of every old soak
To hear them you'd think him clown;
Perhaps you'd like of whom I'm talking so
Pm speaking of the policeman in your
For every must know that this man of the law
Is the gallant knight who guards the oity's peace
They're bound to know that he's police.
Of the many things to do would be surprise to you
If you only of half the things he did
With many little thieves so many petty grefs
But of all the noisy pesky kids
There's thing he mustn't crowd huabalOO
If he tries to punish them galoot.
With frOwns faces grim, they all pitch onto him.
And tell the city boss "That policeman is a brute"
the guy who holers most is the verv worst to roast
And complain that the noise will have to stop.
He'll go to the city bosses and complain of his losses,
And say many uncOmphmentary things about cop.
Hen tell how the boys behave he'll rave
When boys begin shout and bali the people out
He hopes that pesky cop will surely drown
No matter how cold OF dark the night
The poor old must travel up and down the street
For may a people
And swear the cop was never on his beat.
Then besides on such night there will be drunken fight
If he don't look pretty sharp they'll up dark,
And hit him on the head with a brick
Of all work know the cop really has no show,
For the he IS the city COP
With his helmet in the dark, he'll make pretty mark
When they see him approaching they VIII hop,
Or if they've got do with bullet they'll through
0T With knife they'll make him take shuttle off this mortal COIL
To plant the poor old cop beneath the fertile soil
Then they rave and very brave
And boast Of the good things he did said;
But of course he doesn't care really can't hear
And besides 'twOuld do good when he S dead
And all be has to do is stroll around"
But he know who sure earn their dough
That man is the policeman Of your town.
