Would you believe e'er in this world
That Cops are people too;
That they have feelings and a soul;
Are human just like you?
The man you see with club and gun
And dressed in navy blue
Is working for you day and night
To make life safe for you.
He has a job that must be done
In peace or war or strife
And he will fight against all wrong
And defend you with his life
He's just a neighbor and a man
Full of kindness thru and thru
He'll help you everytime he can
To make all your skies blue
Don't use a Cop to scare your kids
For he's their loyal friend
But tell them that in time of need
On him they can depend
So please be kind in word and deed
To all the boys in blue
And don't forget e'er in this world
That Cops are people too.
