The Laughing Policeman Lyrics

*Laughter*

I know a fat ole policeman, he�s always on our street
A fat old, jolly red-faced man, he really is a treat
He�s too fine for a policeman, he�s never known to frown
And everybody says he is the happiest man in town

*Laughter*

He laughs upon his 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'd never tried
But once he did arrest a man and laughed until he died

*Laughter*

Oh, His jolly face had wrinkled, and then he shut his eyes
He opened his great mouth, it was a wonderous size
He said �I must arrest you,� I didn't know what for
And then he starting laughing, until he cracked his jaw

*Laughter*

So if you chance to meet him while walking �round the town
Just shake him by his ole fat hand and give him have a crowd
His eyes beam and sparkle, he'll gurgle with delight
And then you�ll start him laughing, with all his blessed might
