INSPECTOR DIM OF THE YARD

INSPECTOR DIM:
     If I were not in the CID
     Something else I'd like to be.
     If I were not in the CID
     A window cleaner, me!
     With a rub-a-dub-dub and a scrub-a-dub-dub
     And a rub-a-dub all day long.
     With a rub-a-dub-dub and a scrub-a-dub-dub
     I'd sing this merry song!

INSPECTOR DIM and THE COURT:
     If I were not in the CID
     Something else I'd like to be.
     If I were not in the CID
     A window cleaner, me!
     With a rub-a-dub-dub and a scrub-a-dub-dub
     And a rub-a-dub all day long.
     With a scrub-a-dub-dub and a rub-a-dub-dub
     I'd sing this very song!  Hey!

COUNSEL:
     If I were not before the bar
     Something else I'd like to be.
     If I were not a barrister
     An engine driver me!
     With a chuff-chuff-chuff and a chuff-chuff-chuff--
     [
silence]
