Madness - On The Beat Pete Lyrics
Up I rush off to workHello fred you look half dead andAre you coming are you goingI could never do a double shift(allo fred get some bed fred)Hello steve long time no seeI like the stones still on the thieveBet you aint half seen some timeIn your short-lived life of crime(by the way, have you got the time ? )On the beat peteWiv me size ten feetI wander up and down the townFor me thats a treatThe beauties of the city andEverythings sweetFor me thats a treatcos Im on the beat peteSwing my truncheon merrilyTry to teach the blind to seeMove a lady for a seatTourist find a sight to seeMingle with the crowdI wonder if theyre proudYes, that would be a treatcos Im on the beat pete... beat peteHello snowball, you still drunk ?Here have a smoke, anyone for lunch ?A printed person of last weeks timesSeen a lot of stars and moonshine(spare you a dime ? )On the beat peteWiv me size ten feetI wander up and down the townFor me thats a treatThe beauties of the city andEverythings sweetFor me thats a treatcos Im on the beat peteSwing my truncheon merrilyTry to teach the blind to seeMove a lady for a seatTourist find a sight to seeMingle with the crowdI wonder if theyre proudYes, that would be a treatcos Im on the beat pete... beat peteHello bun been down the oven ?Whats the rate for a single person ?Is it good, is it sad ?You look unhappy it must be badHello may been a busy ladyAll work and no time for playStill its the life you chose I supposeGood luck to you come what may !Skip-a-di-do-da-days !On the beat peteWiv me size ten feetI wander up and down the townFor me thats a treatThe beauties of the city andEverythings sweetFor me thats a treatcos Im on the beat peteSwing my truncheon merrilyTry to teach the blind to seeMove a lady for a seatTourist find a sight to seeMingle with the crowdI wonder if theyre proudYes, that would be a treatcos Im on the beat pete... beat peteBeat pete(x 7)
