If a big traffic officer pulls you up in town he's just doing his job,

When he's scowling at you looking at you up and down, he's just doing his job.

When he tries to do you out of every dollar he can,

And threatens to take you in his Paddy Van,

You try to understand that he's a working man just doing his job.

If you ever get in trouble dial 111, they're just doing their job,

If you ever need protection from the murderer's gun, they're just doing their job,

But every callout seems to be an hour delayed,

so if you need protection from the axeman's blade,

You're better off to dial up the fire brigade, they're just doing their job.

If a teller gives you hell and tells you wait another week, he's just doing his job,

When he says you need another twenty forms of I.D. he's just doing his job.

They're not in public service 'cause they give a damn,

They're there to keep the wolf away, I'm sorry ma'am,

He'll help you out about as little as he can, just doing his job.

If your friend tries to tell you that a porky policeman's just doing his job,

Ask him if he thinks that every S.S. man was just doing his job,

Try to tell the jews of Poland in the carrier train,

When they're burning in the ovens that they shouldn't complain,

I'd like to see your friend try to explain they're just doing their job.

Oh how long are people gonna take it from behind from bacon doing their job?

When they'll do you in for every breach they can find, they're just doing their job.

I've learned that a pig is just a wolf in wool,

He won't quit until he's got his quota full,

Then he's about as helpful as a pair of nips on a bull just doing his job.

Then he's 'bout as helpful as a pair of nips on a bull just doing his job.
