Everytime you turn around They're catching somebody in the act And that's because they do their job And that is a well-known-fact I've lived there for many years And I've always felt safe with them And it didn't matter the place or street Or who,what,where,or when! They had always captured their man And there was no two ways about it And I mean that with all of my heart And if you want me to,I'll shout it!
