Madness - On The Beat Pete lyrics

Up i rush off to work Hello fred you look half dead and Are you coming are you going I could never do a double shift (allo fred get some bed fred) Hello steve long time no see I like the stones still on the thieve Bet you ain't half seen some time In your short-lived life of crime (by the way, have you got the time ?) On the beat pete Wiv me size ten feet I wander up and down the town For me that's a treat The beauties of the city and Everything's sweet For me that's a treat 'cos i'm on the beat pete Swing my truncheon merrily Try to teach the blind to see Move a lady for a seat Tourist find a sight to see Mingle with the crowd I wonder if they're proud Yes, that would be a treat 'cos i'm on the beat pete... beat pete Hello snowball, you still drunk ? Here have a smoke, anyone for lunch ? A printed person of last week's times Seen a lot of stars and moonshine (spare you a dime ?) On the beat pete Wiv me size ten feet I wander up and down the town For me that's a treat The beauties of the city and Everything's sweet For me that's a treat 'cos i'm on the beat pete Swing my truncheon merrily Try to teach the blind to see Move a lady for a seat Tourist find a sight to see Mingle with the crowd I wonder if they're proud Yes, that would be a treat 'cos i'm on the beat pete... beat pete Hello bun been down the oven ? What's the rate for a single person ? Is it good, is it sad ? You look unhappy it must be bad Hello may been a busy lady All work and no time for play Still it's the life you chose i suppose Good luck to you come what may ! Skip-a-di-do-da-days ! On the beat pete Wiv me size ten feet I wander up and down the town For me that's a treat The beauties of the city and Everything's sweet For me that's a treat 'cos i'm on the beat pete Swing my truncheon merrily Try to teach the blind to see Move a lady for a seat Tourist find a sight to see Mingle with the crowd I wonder if they're proud Yes, that would be a treat 'cos i'm on the beat pete... beat pete Beat pete(x 7)
