[SERGEANT]
When a felon's not engaged in his employment -

[CHORUS OF POLICE]
His employment,

[SERGEANT]
Or maturing his felonious little plans -

[CHORUS OF POLICE]
Little plans,

[SERGEANT]
His capacity for innocent enjoyment -

[CHORUS OF POLICE]
'Cent enjoyment

[SERGEANT]
Is just as great as any honest man's -

[CHORUS OF POLICE]
Honest man's!

[SERGEANT]
Our feelings we with difficulty smother -
