The Laughing Policeman, since, despite what this page claims, it isn't merely "sung to the tune" of that song, it straight-up IS that song, lyrics and all!
Talk about it here.
"I Know a Fat Old Policeman" was a song sung by the Magic Mice and Colonel Fuzz as they killed Sergeant Appleby in the 1890s, to the tune of 'The Laughing Policemen'. (AUDIO: Encore of the Scorchies)
Original lyrics
- I know a fat old police-man,
- He's always on our street.
- A fat and jolly red faced man,
- He really is a treat.
- He's too kind for a police-man.
- He's never known to frown.
- And everybody says he is the happiest man in town!
- [Laughing Interlude]
- He laughs upon point duty,
- He laughs upon his beat.
- He laughs at everybody when he's walking in the street.
- He never can stop laughing,
- He says he's never tried,
- But once he did arrest a man and laughed until he died!
- [Laughing Interlude]
