EVERYBODY’S FRIEND
Who guards every home at night,
And watches out for danger?
Who forbids rough men to fight,
And helps the anxious stranger?
Our policeman.
Who turns in the fire alarm
Soon as the fire is sighted?
Sees that no one comes to harm,
And many wrongs are righted?
Our policeman.
Who patrols his daily beat,
Our friend so true and steady?
Guards the children on the street,
A soldier ever ready?
Our policeman.
