Lyrics

[Chorus] Do you think I could leave you lying When I can lie my head off too If somebody squawks in the witness box I'll cover up for you I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes The way the Sergeant taught us to Before you count to three, we'll be off scot-free We're two little boys in blue [Verse 1] Two little boys had two little toys A whistle and a helmet, blue And when they were wee, it was plain to see What they'd grow up into They were hitting other wee'yins, bashing in their brains And shopping everybody too [it was him!!] They didn't reform, now they're in uniform They're two little boys in blue [Chorus] Do you think I could leave you lying When I can lie my head off too If somebody squawks in the witness box I'll cover up for you I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes The way the Sergeant taught us to Before you count to three, we'll be off scot-free We're two little boys in blue [Verse 2] Now the Duty Sergeant said "tuck the prisoners into bed But before you take their cocoa through Keep them in their cells and hit them where it tells But don't leave them black and blue You can kick them on their balls, bounce their heads off the walls Bash them on their kidneys too Beat them on their legs and thighs but don't give them black eyes Or you'll be a prisoner too" [Chorus] Do you think I could leave you lying When I can lie my head off too If somebody squawks in the witness box I'll cover up for you I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes The way the Sergeant taught us to Before you count to three, we'll be off scot-free We're two little boys in blue [Verse 3] So if you see them on the beat as they swagger down your street Here's a piece of advice for you Don't trust your luck, turn 'round, run like the clappers From the the two little boys in blue [Chorus] Do you think I could leave you lying When I can lie my head off too If somebody squawks in the witness box I'll cover up for you I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes The way the Sergeant taught us to Before you count to three, we'll be off scot-free We're two little boys in blue
