John Edmond - 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
