*Laughter*
I know a fat ole policeman, hes always on our street
A fat old, jolly red-faced man, he really is a treat
Hes too fine for a policeman, hes never known to frown
And everybody says he is the happiest man in town
*Laughter*
He laughs upon his duty, he laughs upon his beat
He laughs at everybody when hes walking in the street
He never can stop laughing, he says he'd never tried
But once he did arrest a man and laughed until he died
*Laughter*
Oh, His jolly face had wrinkled, and then he shut his eyes
He opened his great mouth, it was a wonderous size
He said I must arrest you, I didn't know what for
And then he starting laughing, until he cracked his jaw
*Laughter*
So if you chance to meet him while walking round the town
Just shake him by his ole fat hand and give him have a crowd
His eyes beam and sparkle, he'll gurgle with delight
And then
*Laughter*

I like punk and I like sham - I got nicked over at West Ham!
I'm a fool I guess it's true
For all I know, I was in the back with you!
In a Police Car! Police Car! Police Car! Police Car!
The pigs come in an hour later.
They were looking for a guy named Freddie Jasper
We said we hadn’t seen him, they knew we’d lied
For if we did, we’d be taken for a ride.
In the back of a Police Car! Police Car! Police Car! Police Car!
I'm a fool I guess it's true
For all I know, I was in the back with you!
In a Police Car! Police Car! Police Car! Police Car!

And this came into my head last night, by the AK47's back at start of the 90's.
Tottenham Three
Tottenham three, set them free
Set them free, cos they're not guilty
Tottenham, October, 1985
Spirit of resistance, very much alive
When those racist cops tooled up, attack
Tottenham youth were ready to fight back
Against years and years of being pushed, downtrodden
Routinely harassed, its gone on too long
Cos the cops took a beating when they choose to attack
Tottenham youth were ready, Fight Back!
Those cops were reeling
Hundred were arrested in the months that followed
Doors smashed down in the middle of the night
Three men framed who are know in prison
State clampdown on those who fight
Against years and years of being pushed, downtrodden
Routinely harassed, its gone on too long
Cos the cops took a beating when they choose to attack
Tottenham youth were ready, Fight Back!
Tottenham three, set them free
Set them free, cos they're not guilty
TBH, looking at the AK47's album "Don't call me vanilla", most of the lyrics are about cops. e.g God's Man (about James Anderton and also featured in the Happy Mondays tune):
God's man on earth says "No dancing after midnight"
Sends the boys to put a 12DM down
Gods's man on earth says he wants to hit the dance floor
Sends the boys to put a 12DM down

Jesus Mary an' Joseph it's the Feckin' Peelers! - Mick Byrne and the Eejits
(Chorus)
Sure, we had the left leg of the sofa in the Rover
when the big Paddy van came over
All hail O Brien, the biggest feck since Brenden Doyle!
Out we went on the mornin' toil with shovels and Powers
And bacon on da boil
Garret Fitzgerald on the radio and me ma's owd trenchcoat
covering the showers
Lord Sweeney spies the sofa from a distant view and feck me
Mullen likes the look of it too
Sure, we had the left leg of the sofa in the Rover
when the big Paddy van came over
Can't remember the rest and can't find it online
