La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh I'm just a London Bobby
And I don't know why they sent me to the bush
With all the creepy crawlies that are creeping up me drawers,
I could easy give the job the push.
I used to walk me beat down at old Trafalgar Square,
Piccadilly Circus and the Strand
But names like Penhalonga, Bulawayo, Rafingora
Are a little bit too much to understand.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh I'm just a London bobby;
It's just for mad dogs and Englishmen.
Me skin is going pink and it isn't from the drink
And me helmet doesn't stop the midday sun.
I used to get get me orders direct from Scotland Yard
And the tourists used to take me photograph
But now I'm just a nana standing at a polling booth
And all they do is look at me and laugh.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh I'm just a London Bobby
And fighting crime has always been me job.
They took away me truncheon and sent me to a place
Where there's nothing left for anyone to rob.
When I was just a lad, saw a poster on a wall;
It said "Join the force and have a better life"
Now they're sending me to Wankie and they say it's just a town
But how do I explain that to me wife?
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh I'm just a London Bobby
And I don't know why they sent me to the bush
With all the creepy crawlies that are creeping up me drawers,
I could easy give the job the push.
I used to walk me beat down at old Trafalgar Square,
Piccadilly Circus and the Strand
But names like Penhalonga, Bulawayo, Rafingora
Are a little bit too much to understand.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Tiddly Pom.
