Lyrics

[Puffer] Here to track this man in black am I With one clue as to the who and why! [Datchery] I find myself In this aggravating form and face Gravitating to this place Navigating t'wards this case! [Puffer & Datchery] I've come to town, my ear at every door Half the clown, yet crafty at the core Settling down to settle up the score A kettle full of fish I'll fry I'll cook each goose, (to mix a metaphor) And unloose a mighty meteor - I'm settling down to settle up the score [Datchery] My mettle will be more than tested! [Datchery &Puffer] A debt'll be repaid before I've rested - oh! [Datchery] Drood [Puffer] No word Datchery: What's brewed [Puffer:] No grave [Datchery] No tomb... [Datchery & Puffer] Who'll say who's done what and why to whom? [Datchery] I'm on the scent, I'm inventing everything I am... [Puffer] Where's the sacrificial lamb? [Datchery] 'Ere in bloody Cloisterham [Puffer& Datchery] I've come to town to ask at every door: Did Edwin Drood drown or was he washed ashore? I'm settling down to settle up the score: Red herring on a briny beach! I'll solve this yet As Grand Inquisitor! Make a bet You've met me once before! Make a threat? I only wish you would! I'm settling up the score for good!
