| Now gangway for the famous sleuth
|
| Must be Sherlock! |
| That’s the truth
|
| Elementary, Doctor Watson
|
| You are amazing, Mr. Holmes
|
| Say, no detective stands a chance
|
| Well, how about a fine romance?
|
| They need a good man, Watson
|
| An' Amateurs, Mr. Holmes
|
| Well, they have a crime wavin'
|
| And the papers all ravin'
|
| And they hollerin' for a showdown
|
| The Inspector can see that he’s gotta have me
|
| Quick, quick, Sherlock? |
| The lowdown!
|
| Cops can’t even solve a crime
|
| Bound to miss it every time
|
| Ain’t that awful, Watson?
|
| Simply lousy, Mr. Holmes!
|
| Now, when policemen have a case
|
| Where they raid some gambling place
|
| How they muff it, Watson!
|
| What’s the reason, Mr. Holmes?
|
| Well, by the time the cops catch on
|
| All the evidence is gone
|
| Must be dumb as Watson
|
| Why, they’re morons, Mr. Holmes!
|
| While they are looking around
|
| Not a thing to be found
|
| All the gambling rooms and lobbies
|
| And the rattle of dice
|
| And the tickle of ice
|
| Watch it, Sherlock, the bobbies
|
| Well Inspector howdy do
|
| Sherlock I’ll be seeing you
|
| Where you going, Watson?
|
| I’m goin' to China, Mr. Holmes |
