Lyrics

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.

He (E7)o pened his great mouth, fat old hand it and (E7)was a won drous size.

He (A)said “I must ar rest you.” He (Bm)did n’t know what for, and (Ab)then he start ed laugh ing un (A)til he cracked his jaw.
