Does anyone remember the words to "Dixon of Dock Green"?

I've had the bloody tune running round in my head for the last few days and can only remember snippets of lines.

Any help would be appreciated.

AN ORDINARY COPPER can be heard on "40 Years of BBC TV Themes," Empire CD 633, 1997. However, that arrangement might be instrumental only.

Jack Warner (aka PC Dixon) wrote the song himself, adapting a tune which he had used to introduce himself when appearing in the USA.
Original lyric was:-
Blimey, I'm a limey, and I'm proud of it too....

Sorry, only line I recall, but I remembet him singing it on 'Parkinson'
