The Patrol Wagon - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE PATROL WAGON. Dedicated to the Philadelphia Police Force. Tune- "Climbing Up the Golden Stairs." ' 
I will tell you of a new invention, That attracts much attention, Riding in the patrol wagon; If they think you've got no money, They treat you awful funny, While riding in the patrol wagon. 
Chorus. Then hear the gong striking, 'Tis warning for you all; Oh, hear those men singing. While riding in the patrol wagon. 
At the Central Police Station It causes quite a sensation, Riding in the patrol wagon; It will make you open your eyes, And even look with surprise, Riding in the patrol wagon.-Chorus. 
The wagon is very quick, It arrives quite on the tick, Riding in the patrol wagon; Not long after you hear the bell, They'll throw you in a cell, Riding in the patrol wagon.-Chorus. 
Some of Philadelphia's biggest men Have rode in it, all the same, Riding in the patrol wagon; They can hardly realize That they've been criticized, While riding in the patrol wagon.-Chorus. 
If you want to know the way, Just get drunk in Philadelphia, Riding in the patrol wagon; You'll be sorry for that time, When you come to pay your fine, For riding in the patrol wagon.-Chorus
