[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
