Murphy

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

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

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

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"

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

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

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
