Subject: RE: Law Officers in Songs &Children's Rhymes
Here's a challenge to Mudcat members and guests: Name a folk song or any other song that mentions a female police officer
Hows about this one, as sung by a Mudcatter with the handle of Lady Policeman:
I'm a lady policeman, ever so ladylike Ever so ladylike, ta-ra-ra. When I draw my truncheon, nobody gets the spike, Ever so ladylike, ta-ra-ra. Every night at ten, I go on my beat All the naughty men Go "tweet, tweet, tweet" I'm a lady policeman, ever so ladylike Ever so ladylike, ta-ra-ra.
That's the chorus: there are two or possibly three verses, but I can't remember them.
