Jackie DeShannon - Murphy lyrics
[Jackie DeShannon - Murphy lyrics]
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
