Capping 1932. Victoria University College. April 30th, May 2nd and 3rd, 1932.

Tune: "There's a Good Time Coming."

Tune: "There's a Good Time Coming."

Police Defectives:
We haven't had a hold-up for at least a year
And all we want at present is a Red Top Beer.

Chorus.
There's a good crime coming
But it's ever so far away,
That's what we say to ourselves, we say,
Jolly good luck, hooray.

Chorus.
We are so badly overworked that Special Cops are made,
Thousands of batons all complete to whack the underpaid.

Chorus.
The criminals are eating off their heads in jail
Our only relaxation now is Red Top Ale.
