The Laughing Policeman

The Laughing Policeman - Charles Penrose

Written by：Billy Grey

I know a fat old policeman

He's always on our street

A fat and jolly red faced man

He really is a treat

He's too kind for a policeman

He's never known to frown

And everybody says

He is the happiest man in town

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

He laughs upon point duty

He laughs upon his beat

He laughs at everybody

When he's walking in the street

He never can stop laughing

He says he's never tried

But once he did arrest a man

And laughed until he cried

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

His jolly face is wrinkled

And then he shut his eyes

He opened his great big mouth

It was a wonderous size

He said I must arrest you

He didn't know what for

And then he started laughing

Until he cracked his fat old jaw

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

So if you chance to meet him

While walking around the town

Shake him by his fat old hand

And give him half a crown

His eyes will beam and sparkle

He'll gurgle with delight

And then you'll start him laughing

With all his blessed might

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha
