When the enterprising burglar isn't burgling,
⁠When the cut-throat isn't occupied in crime,
He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling,
⁠And listen to the merry village chime.
When the coster's finished jumping on his mother,
⁠He loves to lie a-basking in the sun:
Ah, take one consideration with another,
⁠The policeman's lot is not a happy one!
