Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFE AGAGHIJI KLKLMNON KPAPQRSR| Here in my cosy corner | A |
| Before a blazing log | B |
| I'm thinking of cold London | C |
| Wrapped in its killing fog | D |
| And like a shining beacon | C |
| Above the picture grim | E |
| I see the London 'Bobby ' | F |
| And sing my song for him | E |
| - | |
| I see his stalwart figure | A |
| I see his kindly face | G |
| I hear his helpful answer | A |
| 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 | A |
| 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 |
