Heres another copper song posted originally by Captain Swing THE COPPERS' SONG (Hamish Imlach) From: GUEST,Captain Swing Date: 01 Apr 00 - 08:48 AM It was down in old Invertoty, The Gestapo was out on the beat, Looking for murder and arson, And drunks as they rolled down the street. Now two of the chief constable's agents, Their notebooks were crammed full with names. Ten men, six women, a cat and a dog, For peeing up closes and lanes. It was four o'clock when they found it, Lying in the road like a log, It was a badly bashed about body, With tyre marks scorched up it's fizzog. So they went through the usual procedure, They kicked it to make sure it was dead. Then they went through it's pockets and stole all it's cash And smoked all it's fags while it bled. Then they lifted up this old body, One at it's head and it's feet, And carted it off down an alley way, And dumped it on another bloke's beat. It was six o'clock when they refound it, Propped up in an old chip shop door. It was naked by now with a note round it's neck, "Not wanted on beats three or four." (line breaks added by a Joeclone)
