On the Beat Pete

Lyrics

Up I rush off to work Hello, Fred ,you look half dead and Are you coming, are you going I could never do a double shift (Allo, Fred, get some bed, Fred) Hello, Steve long time no see I like the Stones, still on the thieve Bet you ain't half seen some time In your short-lived life of crime (Have you got the time?) On the beat Pete Wiv me size ten feet I wander up and down the town For me that's a treat The beauties of the city and Everything's sweet For me that's a treat 'Cos I'm on the beat Pete Swing my truncheon merrily Try to teach the blind to see Move a lady for a seat Tourist find a sight to see Mingle with the crowd I wonder if they're proud Yes, that would be a treat 'Cos I'm on the beat Pete... beat Pete Hello, Snowball, you still drunk? Here, have a smoke, anyone for lunch? A printed person of last week's times Seen a lot of stars and moonshine (Spare you a dime?) (Laughter) On the beat Pete Wiv me size ten feet I wander up and down the town For me that's a treat The beauties of the city and Everything's sweet For me that's a treat 'Cos I'm on the beat Pete Swing my truncheon merrily Try to teach the blind to see Move a lady for a seat Tourist find a sight to see Mingle with the crowd I wonder if they're proud Yes, that would be a treat 'Cos I'm on the beat Pete... beat Pete Hello, Bun, been down the oven? What's the rate for a single person? Is it good, is it sad? You look unhappy, it must be bad Hello, May, been a busy lady All work and no time for play Still, it's the life you chose, I suppose Good luck to you come what may! Skip-a-di-do-da-days! On the beat Pete Wiv me size ten feet I wander up and down the town For me that's a treat The beauties of the city and Everything's sweet For me that's a treat 'Cos I'm on the beat Pete Swing my truncheon merrily Try to teach the blind to see Move a lady for a seat Tourist find a sight to see Mingle with the crowd I wonder if they're proud Yes, that would be a treat 'Cos I'm on the beat Pete... beat Pete Beat Pete(x7)
