《On the Beat》歌词

[00:00:00] On The Beat - George Formby

[00:00:03] If you want to know the time ask a policeman

[00:00:07] The proper rhythmic time ask a policeman

[00:00:11] Every copper on the beat

[00:00:13] Yeh he's got rhythm in his feet

[00:00:15] One step two step three step

[00:00:17] Four step rag time jazz time swing

[00:00:18] We're always on the beat

[00:00:22] The lads in blue are always on the beat

[00:00:25] We raise our batons and we raise our voices in song

[00:00:31] To keep us cheery when we're swinging along

[00:00:34] We're always smart and neat

[00:00:37] To see us passing gives the girls a treat

[00:00:40] They all start waving and we wink a friendly eye

[00:00:46] Hear them whisper "Ain't she sweet"

[00:00:48] We can sweep them off their feet

[00:00:50] Because we're on the beat

[00:00:54] Why do all the nursemaids say

[00:00:55] "Oh I think you police are marvelous"

[00:00:57] Who's with cook on her half day "My rhapsody in blue"

[00:01:01] Why do all the convicts shout

[00:01:03] "I think you police are marvellous"

[00:01:05] What is all this fuss about

[00:01:07] Well Im not asking you

[00:01:09] For the reason is plain let me tell you again

[00:01:12] We're always on the beat

[00:01:15] You'll see us standing guard on every street

[00:01:19] If things upset you there's no need to worry or frown

[00:01:24] Ask a policeman and he won't let you down

[00:01:27] For anyone you meet is bound to tell you

[00:01:31] That we're hard to beat

[00:01:34] We know the answers and we tell you one and all

[00:01:39] If you're wandering up and down

[00:01:41] We'll show you how to go to town

[00:01:43] Because we're on the beat

[00:02:20] We're always on the beat

[00:02:23] We're not allowed to stop and take a seat

[00:02:27] We keep on walking through the winter

[00:02:29] Summer and spring

[00:02:32] Rain or sunshine well it don't mean a thing

[00:02:36] We're always on our feet

[00:02:39] We suffer agonies from cold and heat

[00:02:42] But we don't grumble for our duty must be done

[00:02:48] Though we may be full of aches

[00:02:50] We never have to ask for breaks

[00:02:52] Because we're on the beat
