I'M AN OFFICER OF THE LAW
Music: Jerry Stoll - Lyrics: M. K. Jerome

Dennis Morgan and the Warner Brothers Orchestra, arranged by Howard Jackson


I'm an officer of the law in Central Park -
You'll find me with the nursemaids there.
And confidentially, I'm the answer to a nursemaid's prayer.
As I'm strollin' along the park, they all remark
That I'm the guy they'd like to meet.
I'm quite the devil with the ladies - a nursemaid's treat.

It's the same with every pretty miss -
The know that I'm allergic to their beauty.
When they ask me if I'd like a kiss, 
An officer must always do his duty.

If a lady should need my aid, don't be afraid, 
You'll always find me standin' by.
A ladies' man who does the best he can,
An officer of the law am I!

It's the same with every pretty miss -
They know that I'm allergic to their beauty.
When they ask me if I'd like a kiss ... 
I only did my duty.

If a lady should need my aid, don't be afraid, 
You'll always find me standin' by.
A ladies' man who does the best he can,
An officer of the law am I!
