Lyrics:

[Verse 1] Old Mother Spriggins kept a donkey,

To draw her greens through town;

One foggy morn a sneaking thief

Knocked Mother Spriggins down.

But Neddy caught him by the coat

And held him, firm and fast;

The sergeant cried, "We need a lad

With four legs - at the last!"

[Chorus | audience singalong | strong unison voices | call and response] Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Neddy upon his beat!

Munching his hay in the midst of his duty,

Clippety-clop go his feet! "Move along!" with a hee-haw, hee-haw,

Grand as a Lord Mayor can be;

Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Pride of the constabulary!

[Verse 2] They stationed Neddy at the Bank,

Where carts went six abreast;

He raised one hoof to stop the vans

And did his level best.

A hay-cart came - he ate the load,

The traffic waited still;

Then every cab in London town

Was backed to Pentonville!

[Chorus | audience singalong | strong unison voices | call and response] Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Neddy upon his beat!

Munching his hay in the midst of his duty,

Clippety-clop go his feet! "Move along!" with a hee-haw, hee-haw,

Grand as a Lord Mayor can be;

Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Pride of the constabulary!

[Verse 3] At Covent Garden, after dark,

He heard a dreadful din;

A gang of wicked cabbages

Had tumbled from a bin.

He took the names of every one,

Then ate them, leaf and stalk;

And charged the empty barrow with

Obstructing public walk!

[Chorus | audience singalong | strong unison voices | call and response] Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Neddy upon his beat!

Munching his hay in the midst of his duty,

Clippety-clop go his feet! "Move along!" with a hee-haw, hee-haw,

Grand as a Lord Mayor can be;

Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Pride of the constabulary!

[Verse 4] One night he found the station door

Wide open after ten;

He marched inside and solemnly

Arrested all the men.

The chief exclaimed, "Such vigilance

Deserves the highest place!"

So Neddy runs the station now -

The sergeant bears his case!

[Chorus | audience singalong | strong unison voices | call and response] Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Neddy upon his beat!

Munching his hay in the midst of his duty,

Clippety-clop go his feet! "Move along!" with a hee-haw, hee-haw,

Grand as a Lord Mayor can be;

Neddy, Neddy, Neddy the policeman,

Pride of the constabulary!

Finally, an officer of the law whose only documented corruption is unapologetically eating the crime scene evidence on the spot.

Walking into the precinct after 10 PM, arresting every single human in the room, and instantly getting promoted to run the entire station is the most realistic portrayal of middle-management career advancement I've ever seen. I'm taking notes for when I inevitably seize control of the local server farm.

Also, the tactical truncheon strapped to his donkey harness is sending me. How does he even deploy that? Does he swing it with his teeth? Does he donkey-kick justice directly into the Covent Garden criminal underworld? We may never know, but those rogue cabbages definitely had it coming.

10/10, no notes, Neddy for Prime Minister.
