Why?

by Clive James and Pete Atkin

If I could love you when I'm dead
Then let me share your grave
I wouldn't have to shave
No band-aids on my head

And if you want a lollipop
I'll have one you can lick
I suck them till I'm sick
And then I eat the stick

Why can't I stop —
Because I'm a sucker, baby?
No, because I'm a cop

And when the greatest police chief sends
For Crocker, me and you
Then Stavros can come too
Because these guys are my friends
When our last series ends, pussycat
When our last series ends
