THE CAMP POLICE
You may talk about your Sherlock Holmes And the famous Philo Vance But with our camp Police They wouldn’t have a chance. There’s not a case that’s gone unsolved For there is no perfect crime They always bring the culprit in If given sufficient time. They do their job methodically Their actions swift and hard They never fail to get their man The sleuths of Roche’s Yard. Once they start upon a case They never leave the trail Till the culprit’s either shot Or safely lodged in jail. Just recently there disappeared A soldier’s hat and coat So they set a trap to catch the thief ’Twas Captain Storrie’s goat. It seems they found the footprints So made a plaster cast And finally solved the case By what the goat had passed. I I So you see they - are efficient And beat them no one can The boys of Roche’s Yard Will always get their man.
