Lyrics

Officer Blue
Really love the things you do
Even when I was just eight years old (eight years old)
Officer Blue
Is it true what they say?
That when you work you're still at play (still at play)

Oh Officer Blue
I really love the things you do
It's magical
People in a human zoo

Officer Blue
Cast a shadow on the wall
But by torchlight even mice look tall (they don't fall)
Officer Blue
In a blaze of human form
And your stripes and badges to conform (you conform)

Officer Blue
Really love the things you do
Even when I was just eight years old (eight years old)
Officer Blue
Is it true what they say?
That when you work you're still at play (still you play)
