• When A Felon's Not Engaged In His Employment

When a felon's not engaged in his employment
Or maturing his felonious little plans,
His capacity for innocent enjoyment
Is just as great as any honest man's.
Our feelings we with difficulty smother
When constabulary duty's to be done.
Ah, take one consideration with another -
A policeman's lot is not a happy one!
When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done,
A policeman's lot is not a happy one!

When the enterprising burglar's not a-burgling,
When the cutthroat isn't occupied in crime
He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling
And listen to the merry village chime.
When the coster's finished jumping on his mother,
He loves to lie a-basking in the sun.
Ah, take one consideration with another -
A policeman's lot is not a happy one!
When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done,
A policeman's lot is not a happy one!
