- | |
Here in my cosy corner | B |
Before a blazing log | C |
I'm thinking of cold London | D |
Wrapped in its killing fog | E |
And like a shining beacon | D |
Above the picture grim | F |
I see the London 'Bobby ' | - |
And sing my song for him | F |
- | |
I see his stalwart figure | B |
I see his kindly face | G |
I hear his helpful answer | B |
At any hour or place | G |
For though you seek some by way | H |
Long miles from his own beat | I |
He tells you all about it | J |
And how to find the street | I |
- | |
He looks like some bold Viking | K |
This king of earth's police | L |
Yet in his voice lies feeling | K |
And in his eye lies peace | L |
He knows and does his duty | M |
What higher praise is there | N |
And London's lords and paupers | O |
Alike receive his care | N |
- | |
He has a regal bearing | K |
Yet one that breathes repose | P |
It is the look and manner | B |
Of one who THINKS and KNOWS | P |
Oh men who govern nations | Q |
In old worlds or in new | R |
Turn to the London 'Bobby' | S |
And learn a thing or two | R |
