On The Beat (合拍) - George Formby[00:00:00]
If you want to know the time ask a policeman[00:00:03]
The proper rhythmic time ask a policeman[00:00:07]
Every copper on the beat [00:00:11]
Yeh he's got rhythm in his feet[00:00:13]
One step two step three step [00:00:15]
Four step rag time jazz time swing [00:00:17]
We're always on the beat [00:00:18]
The lads in blue are always on the beat [00:00:22]
We raise our batons and we raise our voices in song[00:00:25]
To keep us cheery when we're swinging along [00:00:31]
We're always smart and neat [00:00:34]
To see us passing gives the girls a treat[00:00:37]
They all start waving and we wink a friendly eye [00:00:40]
Hear them whisper "Ain't she sweet"[00:00:46]
We can sweep them off their feet[00:00:48]
Because we're on the beat[00:00:50]
Why do all the nursemaids say[00:00:54]
"Oh I think you police are marvelous"[00:00:55]
Who's with cook on her half day "My rhapsody in blue"[00:00:57]
Why do all the convicts shout[00:01:01]
"I think you police are marvellous" [00:01:03]
What is all this fuss about [00:01:05]
Well I'm not asking you[00:01:07]
For the reason is plain let me tell you again [00:01:09]
We're always on the beat [00:01:12]
You'll see us standing guard on every street[00:01:15]
If things upset you there's no need to worry or frown[00:01:19]
Ask a policeman and he won't let you down[00:01:24]
For anyone you meet is bound to tell you[00:01:27]
That we're hard to beat[00:01:31]
We know the answers and we tell you one and all[00:01:34]
If you're wandering up and down [00:01:39]
We'll show you how to go to town[00:01:41]
Because we're on the beat [00:01:43]
We're always on the beat [00:02:20]
We're not allowed to stop and take a seat [00:02:23]
We keep on walking through the winter [00:02:27]
Summer and spring[00:02:29]
Rain or sunshine well it don't mean a thing[00:02:32]
We're always on our feet [00:02:36]
We suffer agonies from cold and heat[00:02:39]
But we don't grumble for our duty must be done[00:02:42]
Though we may be full of aches[00:02:48]
We never have to ask for breaks[00:02:50]
Because we're on the beat[00:02:52]
