I (A)know a fat old police man, he’s (Bm)al ways on our street.

A (E7)fat and jol ly red faced man, he (E7)real ly is a treat.

He’s (A)too kind for a police man, he’s (Bm)nev er known to frown.

And (Ab)ev ’ry bod y says he is the (A)hap pi est man in town.

He (A)laughs up on point du ty, he (Bm)laughs up on his beat.

He (E7)laughs at ev ’ry bod y when he’s (E7)walk ing in the street.

He (A)nev er can stop laugh ing, he (Bm)says he’s nev er tried.

But (Ab)once he did ar rest a man and (A)laughed un est til he cried.

His (A)jol ly face had wrink led and (Bm)then he shut his eyes.
