Murphy

[Verse 1]
As Sherlock captures the professor Moriarity
Old man Murphy reads the best and final page
Ever since the day that Scotland Yard retired him
Murphy's had to work under another name

[Chorus]
Following crooks in the dark
Dodging the bullets and darts
Having the time of his life
In spite of his wife
Who says "He acts like a child
He should lie down for a while"
But Murphy knows there is no time to be detained

[Verse 2]
And around midnight Murphy's sitting by the window
A shot is fired inside the chancellor's house
He sees a gun flash and a man run down the alley
But the police think that his mind has given out

[Chorus]
Following crooks in the dark
Dodging the bullets and darts
Having the time of his life
In spite of his wife
Who says "He acts like a child
He should lie down for a while"
But Murphy knows there is no time to be detained
La, la, la
La-la, la-la
Ah, la-la, la-la
Having the time of his life
In spite of his wife
"You know you act like a child
You should lie down for a while"

[Verse 3]
Murphy is sure the new lieutenant's gun is missing
He tells the captain but he calls Murphy a fool
So Murphy lights his pipe, walks home through the moonlight
With the gun that he found buried by the pool

[Chorus]
Following crooks in the dark
Dodging the bullets and darts
Having the time of his life
In spite of his wife

[Outro]
La-da, la-da, la-da
La-la-di, da-da-da, da-da
La-da, la-da, la-da, da-da-da
La-da, la-da, la-da
Da-da-di-da, la-da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da-da
La-da, la-da, la-da
