The Laughing Policeman

*Laughter* I know a fat ole policeman, he's always on our street A fat old, jolly red-faced man, he really is a treat He's too fine for a policeman, he's never known to frown And everybody says he is the happiest man in town *Laughter* He laughs upon his duty, he laughs upon his beat He laughs at everybody when he's walking in the street He never can stop laughing, he says he'd never tried But once he did arrest a man and laughed until he died *Laughter* Oh, His jolly face had wrinkled, and then he shut his eyes He opened his great mouth, it was a wonderous size He said 'I must arrest you,' I didn't know what for And then he starting laughing, until he cracked his jaw *Laughter* So if you chance to meet him while walking 'round the town Just shake him by his ole fat hand and give him have a crowd His eyes beam and sparkle, he'll gurgle with delight And then you'll start him laughing, with all his blessed might
