- | |
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 | G |
And sing my song for him | F |
- | |
I see his stalwart figure | B |
I see his kindly face | H |
I hear his helpful answer | B |
At any hour or place | H |
For though you seek some by way | I |
Long miles from his own beat | J |
He tells you all about it | K |
And how to find the street | J |
- | |
He looks like some bold Viking | L |
This king of earth s police | M |
Yet in his voice lies feeling | L |
And in his eyes lies peace | M |
He knows and does his duty | G |
What higher praise is there | N |
And London s lords and paupers | O |
Alike receive his care | N |
- | |
He has a regal bearing | L |
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 new | R |
Turn to the London Bobby | G |
And learn a thing or two | R |
