If the uniforms were red

And there balloons tied to your head

Well I'd be a policeman

If you took their kicks away

And Holden cars weren't gray

Well I'd be a policeman

Oh you got to have balloons

'Cause the force is just a joke

They fill em with hot air from the north

You've got to have red

'Cause the force is just a replica in blue

Oh you got to have balloons

'Cause the force is just a joke

They fill em with hot air from the north

You've got to have red

'Cause the force is just a replica in blue

When I'm walkin' on my beat

With big boots on my feet

Well I'll be a policeman

When my hairline looks just right

I'll be due for sergeant stripes

Well I'll be a policeman

I'll be a policeman

I'll be a policeman

I'll be a policeman

Oh yeah
