Sierra Oscar November Golf

The first time I saw her it was rainy and wet

She said I’m in law enforcement and I work for the Met.

I’ve finished my shift let’s find some place to go.

I took her to a nearby Bravo Alpha Romeo.

I said Have you eaten and do you like chicken?

There’s a place just close by they say’s finger lickin’.

We finished our drinks of malt, hops and barley

We dined at the local Kilo Foxtrot Charlie.


Well I walked her home and we kissed on the cheek

I took her out every night of that week

She loved all things retro, especially art deco

We were falling in Lima Oscar Victor Echo.


To heinous crimes I gladly confessed

Just so she’d put me under arrest

And I wish now more than ever before

I was wrapped in the long loving arms of the Law.


Our passions almost wore out the bed and the bedding

Before too long we were planning the wedding

She got so excited each time that I felt her

She said I can’t wait to be Whiskey Echo Delta.

Before we go on I’ll admit my affairs

I’ve been to confession said penitent prayers

The forgiveness I wanted wasn’t quite what I got

She said Foxtrot Oscar Foxtrot Foxtrot.


To heinous crimes I gladly confessed

Just so she’d put me under arrest

And I wish now more than ever before

I was wrapped in the long loving arms of the Law.


So now she’s gone and she’s back on the beat

Never again will I kiss those big feet

I won’t forget her I’ll always remember

And now I’m all on my Oscar Whiskey November.

I sit alone and I watch my TV

Indulging the cult of minor celebrity

Games in the jungle, vets talking to Rolf

That’s the sad end of my Sierra Oscar November Golf


To heinous crimes I gladly confessed

Just so she’d put me under arrest

And I wish now more than ever before

I was wrapped in the long loving arms of the Law.


To heinous crimes I gladly confessed

Just so she’d put me under arrest

And I wish now more than ever before

I was wrapped in the long loving arms of the Law.
