TWO LITTLE BOYS IN BLUE
(Billy Connolly)

Do you think I could leave you lying
When I could lie my head off too
If somebody squaks in the witness box
I'll cover up for you
I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes
The way the sergeant taught us to
Before you count to three we'll be off scott free
We're two little boys in blue

Now two little boys had two little toys
A whistle and a helmut blue
And when they were wee it was plain to see
What they'd grow up into
They were hittin' other weans, bashing in their brains
And shoppin' everybody too
They didn't reform, now they're in uniform
They're two little boys in blue

Do you think I could leave you lying
When I could lie my head off too
If somebody squaks in the witness box
I'll cover up for you
I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes
The way the sergeant taught us to
Before you count to three we'll be off scott free
We're two little boys in blue

Now the duty sergeant said tuck the prisoners into bed
But before you take their cocoa through
Keep them in their cells and hit them where it tells
But don't leave them black and blue
You can kick them on their balls, bounce their head off the walls
Bash them on the kidneys too
Beat them on the legs and thighs but don't give them black eyes
Or you'll be a prisoner too

Do you think I could leave you lying
When I could lie my head off too
If somebody squaks in the witness box
I'll cover up for you
I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes
The way the sergeant taught us to
Before you count to three we'll be off scott free
We're two little boys in blue

So if you see them on the beat
As they swagger down your street
Here's a piece of advice for you
Don't trust your luck turn around RUN LIKE THE CLAPPERS!
From the two little boys in blue

Do you think I could leave you lying
When I could lie my head off too
If somebody squaks in the witness box
I'll cover up for you
I'll tell a pack of lies, pull the wool over their eyes
The way the sergeant taught us to
Before you count to three we'll be off scott free
We're two little boys in blue
