lyrics

We take our pleasures as we find
Up above our daily grind,
Netting rabbits, snickling hares,
Pitch and toss, but have a care
Constable Stone is never far from mind.

Constable Stone's a hard man
That keeps us all in check.
If he sees you with a hare
He could break your neck.
Chorus
Constable Stone's an iron man
Whose grip is steely strong.
If you are at pitch and toss
Stone's law says it's wrong.
Chorus
Constable Stone has no cracks,
A pure and flawless seam,
No pick no powder brings him down.
He drinks the crystal stream.
Chorus
Constable Stone will fall on you
When you least expect.
He's an Officer without mercy,
A constable with no respect.
Chorus
Constable Stone will crush you.
He'll grind you on the floor.
He's above us and below us
And he'll leave your widow poor.

We take our pleasures as we find
Up above our daily grind,
Netting rabbits, snickling hares,
Pitch and toss, but have a care
Constable Stone is never far from mind.
