Lyrics
- WELL THERE’S A BODY IN THE BAY
- THE COPS ARE TAKING IT AWAY
- THEY SAID THIS CASE WAS CLOSED
- IT ONLY SHOWS THAT YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
- ‘CAUSE WHO THEY GOING TO GET
- WHEN THE TROUBLE’S GOT TO STOP
- HERE’S MY CARD
- I’M THE CONTINENTAL OP
- JANE DOE IN THE BAY
- NOW THAT’S EXHIBIT ‘A’
- BLOODSTAINS ON THE DRESS
- OF THE MILLIONAIRESS
- BUT I SAW YOU LEAVING TOWN
- I’M GONNA HAVE TO TRACK YOU DOWN
- YOU’VE SLIPPED THROUGH THE WEB
- AND YOU MIGHT HAVE DODGED THE FEDS
- BUT WHO ARE THEY GOING TO GET
- WHEN YOU’VE OUTFOXED THE COPS
- HERE’S MY NUMBER
- I’M THE CONTINENTAL OP
- I’M THE CONTINENTAL OP
- CALL THE AGENCY, WE NEVER CLOSE
- FIRST CONSULTATION IS FREE
- CHECK MY REPUTATION, CHECK MY POSE
- BUT FIRST YOU OUGHT TO CHECK MY FEE
- THERE’S A MENACE ON THE STREETS
- OFFERING INFANTS’ SWEETS
- DON’T GIVE THIS MAN A RIDE
- LOCK YOUR CAR FROM THE INSIDE
- HE’S SUSPECT NUMBER ONE
- BUT I GUESS HIS RACE IS RUN
- HE LEFT A SET OF PRINTS
- HE’S NOT AS SMART AS HE THINKS
- WHO THEY GONNA GET
- WHEN YOU’VE OUTFOXED THE COPS
- HERE’S MY CARD
- I’M THE CONTINENTAL OP
- YEAH, WHO THEY GOING TO GET
- WHEN YOU’VE OUTFOXED THE COPS
- HERE’S MY BADGE
- I’M THE CONTINENTAL OP
