The Lyrics

Another JD News-inspired parody - for the full story follow the link at the bottom...
When a constable is not directing traffic ('recting traffic)
When a detective is not detecting crime ('tecting crime)
And stumbles on some filming, pornographic (pornographic)
You know he's gonna have a damn good time (damn good time)
So that PC isn't apprehending felons (getting felons)
He's doing something that's a bit more fun (much more fun)
The cameras roll: he's juggling with melons (juggling melons)
A policeman on the job's a happy one
Aaaaaah
When there's cunning lingual duty to be done, to be done
A policeman on the job's a happy one

If the said PC is offered up some succour (up some succour)
Of course, he's going to jump at the chance (at the chance)
Because Mr Plod is quite a randy f...ellow (randy fellow)
Who ought to keep it zipped inside his pants (in his pants)
And so they film him, swelling with.. elation (with elation)
As she starts a-nibbling on his cheese (on his cheese)
But put aside all thoughts of flagellation (flagellation)
'Cause you can't beat a fellatrix on her knees
Aaaaah
When there's an oral tradition to pass on, to pass on
A policeman on the job's a happy one

When the video is seen by his superiors (his superiors)
He knows he should have been more circumspect (circumspect)
He may get his marching orders, and they're serious (and they're serious)
As this PC ain't politic'ly correct ('ly correct)
His job is looking shaky, don't he know it? (Don't he know it)
But he ain't so sad as he may appear (may appear)
For he's thinking of just telling them to "Blow it!" (Tell 'em Blow It!)
And having an alternative career...
Aaaaah
When a new career opening has come, it has come
A policeman on the job's a happy one

Yes! I agree with Rick D, this is the parody of the day! And I am delighted that our RBG* is the gentleman who wrote it, too!

{very smug grin} Thanks... I will admit to being rather pleased with this (especially keeping it clean enough - my first few thoughts were definitely whatfreaks material)

I DKTOS. And I am really pissed off about it. But I laughed nonetheless...

I guess they were copping a feel. Great job!

Bravo Juliet six-niner responding. We have a report of three fives acting suspiciously in your area.

Great stuff :-)

SOTM - DKTOS, but your comments tell me this is a good one.

(SOTM AUG) Our RBG pulled off a good one here, folks!

(SOTM) I'm sure I read this ages ago but mustn't have commented. This was really funny, paticularly the 'fellow' line and various others puns. "Well, miss, I have senior constable and we have two orifices down".

Great job, Philbo. The news story link is expired, alas (but it's my own fault for taking so long to get here), and I don't know the G&S oeuvre (which I really should, if for no other reason than y'all keep putting out great parodies based on their stuff), but I'm not sure any of that is really necessary. I found it quite lovely nonetheless. Great rhyme for succor.

A well worked piece, Phil

Love the G&S stuff since it never seems necessary to know the originals. Very very clever.

(SOTM) Loved all the double intendres. And the single entendres too... ;-)

(AUG SOTM) DKTOS, but an excellent read. gave you 5's...

Brings new meaning to the old Beatles lyric,
"And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job"
Great work here as a parody, but lyrics like these stand on their own, which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Everything old is made new again. No need to write a different parody for Officer Dible really...
