My Dad's A Policeman 1903

While walking down a city street
a little tot I chanced to meet,
said she: "I'm looking for my Dad;
I want to see him awful bad.
He meets me on the corner here
for I'm his baby daughter dear,
And ev'ry day we take a walk
'cause with my dad I loves to talk."
"Come tell me, who and where is he?"
I asked as she looked up at me
She winked her little eye so sly
and quickly made this proud reply:

My Daddy's a policeman
the finest on the force
and he's the sweetest Daddy
in all this world, of course
All day he thinks of no one
'cept me and mamma dear
and rain or shine
I come to meet
my dear old Daddy here.

Her eyes searched thro' the passing crowd
for Dad of whom she was so proud,
said she: "Oh! he's so awful fat
but it's all heart I'm sure of that."
You know it's kind of mean to say
But Dad was late, one rainy day,
So here I stood, so awful long,
and little girls ain't very strong.
"I don't remmember any more
'cept walking in a great big store,
and finding close beside my chair,
My dear old Daddy standing there.

My Daddy's a policeman
the finest on the force
and he's the sweetest Daddy
in all this world, of course
All day he thinks of no one
'cept me and mamma dear
and rain or shine
I come to meet
my dear old Daddy here.
