The Finest Police in the World.
Copyright, 1875, by E. H. Harding.

We're the finest police in the world,
In a gay dress of blue they enfold us;
We arrest all offenders of law,
And the people are glad to behold us;
We walk the streets all the long dark night,
And we take good care to be far from a fight;
Our clubs are hard, and our shields are bright,
We're the finest police in the world.

Chorus.

We're the finest, we're the bravest,
We're the grandest police in the world,
We're the finest, we're the bravest,
We're the grandest police in the world.

We're the finest police in the world,
And our praises are sung in the papers;
When we find a disorderly man,
Very soon he is cured of his capers;
We are the pride of the nation wide,
And around our footsteps no law is defied;
The rogues all fear us on every side,
We're the finest police in the world.
We're the finest, we're the bravest, &c
