Lyrics:

Now gangway for the famous sleuth
Must be Sherlock! That's the truth
Elementary, Doctor Watson
You are amazing, Mr. Holmes

Say, no detective stands a chance
Well, how about a fine romance?
They need a good man, Watson
An' Amateurs, Mr. Holmes

Well, they have a crime wavin'
And the papers all ravin'
And they hollerin' for a showdown
The Inspector can see that he's gotta have me
Quick, quick, Sherlock? The lowdown!

Cops can't even solve a crime
Bound to miss it every time
Ain't that awful, Watson?
Simply lousy, Mr. Holmes!

Now, when policemen have a case
Where they raid some gambling place
How they muff it, Watson!
What's the reason, Mr. Holmes?

Well, by the time the cops catch on
All the evidence is gone
Must be dumb as Watson
Why, they're morons, Mr. Holmes!

While they are looking around
Not a thing to be found
All the gambling rooms and lobbies
And the rattle of dice
And the tickle of ice
Watch it, Sherlock, the bobbies

Well Inspector howdy do
Sherlock I'll be seeing you
Where you going, Watson?
I'm goin' to China, Mr. Holmes
