I play piano for a music hall group and I reckon our audiences would love to see one of our performers in fishnets and a helmet performing it.....Please make their day and let me have the words. i know only part of the tune.....has it been recorded... Cheers D |

She attributes it to R.Wallace+S.Kelley. Not much to go on, but it's a start. If you write to Hilary Spencer and get lyrics, please post them here in this thread. -Joe Offer- |

28 Feb 03 - 12:47 PM (#900479) Subject: Lyr Add: I'M A LADY POLICEMAN (R Wallace/S Kelley) From: paulo CHORUS: I'm a lady policeman, ever so ladylike, ever so ladylike, ta-rah-rah. When I draw my truncheon, nobody gets the spike, ever so ladylike, ta-rah-rah. Every night at ten I go on my beat. All the naughty men say tweet, tweet, tweet. I'm a lady policeman, ever so ladylike, ever so ladylike, ta-rah-rah. Up to Monday morning last I never learned a job. In honest work I'd been afraid to stay. As I went to draw my dole, that amazing bloke Accosted me in such a charming way. He said, "you're built to be a lady cop," And there and then the barber cut my mop. Chorus I'm o'fay with every manly copper that I meet. I tips the wink as long as it's OK. I adore cat burglars 'cause they're light upon their feet. I never give cat burglars away. I love to stroke their lovely prickly fur. I stroke and stroke and stroke until they purr. Chorus Mal Waite recorded this song on an album called "By Request" (1987) and it's credited to a Raymond Wallace. In the notes she states that she heard the song on an old 78 by Betty Bolton |
