The Police

Category: Humour


The rock band ‘The Police’ returned for their 30th anniversary at the Grammys last week.

After announcing to a greying crowd that the band’s name had changed to ‘The Security Guards’ they proceeded to sing a modified version of Roxanne to the tune of ‘This Old Grey Mare’

Old Roxanne, she ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be.
Old Roxanne, doesn’t have to put on the red light,
Doesn’t have to put on the red light,
Doesn’t have to put on the red light,
Like she did many long years ago….

Old Roxanne, you ain't what you used to be,
Ain't what you used to be, ain't what you used to be.
Old Roxanne, You don’t have to sell your body to the night,
Don’t have to sell your body to the night,
Don’t have to sell your body to the night

Old Roxanne, you don’t have to wear that dress tonight
Don’t have to wear that dress tonight,
Don’t have to wear that dress tonight,

Refrain…


Old Roxanne, she ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be….
