On The Beat Pete Lyrics - Absolutely - Madness

Up I rush off to work 

Hello Fred you look half dead 

Are you coming are you going 

I could never do a double shift 

Hello 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 

Have you got the time? 

I'm on the beat Pete with my size ten feet 

I wander up and down town for me that's a treat 

Look at the beauties of the city 

See that 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 a tourist find a sight to see 

Try to mingle with crowd I wonder if they're proud 

Yes that would be treat 'cos I'm on the beat Pete 

Beat Pete 

Hello Snowball you still drunk? 

Here have a smoke and one for lunch 

A printed person of last week's Times 

Seen a lot of stars and moon shine 

Spare you a dime? Hahahahahaha 

I'm on the beat Pete with my size ten feet 

I wander up and down town for me that's a treat 

Look at the beauties of the city 

See that 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 a tourist find a sight to see 

Try to mingle with crowd I wonder if they're proud 

Yes that would be 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 day? 

All work and no time for play 

Still it's the life you chose I suppose 

Good luck to you come what may 

Skipity do da day 

I'm on the beat Pete with my size ten feet 

I wander up and down town for me that's a treat 

Look at the beauties of the city 

See that 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 a tourist find a sight to see 

Try to mingle with crowd I wonder if they're proud 

Yes that would be treat 'cos I'm on the beat Pete 

Beat Pete(x9)
