On The Beat Pete Lyrics

(Thompson/Madness)

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

(By the way, 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 ?)

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(x 7)
