He's always on our street.

He's never known to frown.

He laughs upon his beat.

He laughs at everybody
A Cdim7 A
When he's walking in the street.
A Bm7 A
He never can stop laughing

A Bm7 A
His jolly face is wrinkled
D F# Bm
And then he shut his eyes.
E7
He opened his great big mouth
A Cdim7 A
It was a wonderous size!
A Bm7 A
He said "I must arrest you!"
D F# Bm
He didn't know what for.
E G# C#m
And then he started laughing
G# E7 A
Until he cracked his fat old jaw.

A Bm7 A
So if you chance to meet him
D F# Bm
While walking 'round the town.
E7
Shake him by his fat old hand
A Cdim7 A
And give him half a crown.
A Bm7 A
His eyes will beam and sparkle
D F# Bm
He'll gurgle with delight.
E G# C#m
And then you'll start him laughing
G# E7 A
With all his blessed might!
A Bm7 A
Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
