Wellthere's a body in the bay,
The cops are taking it away
They said this case was closed,
It only shows that you never know
So who are they gonna get,
When the trouble's gotta 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 million heiress

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

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 Opyea

Call the Agency,
We never close
First consultation is free,
Check my reputation,
Check my pose,
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 No 1,
But I guess his race is run
He left a set of prints,
He's not smart as he thinks

Who are they gonna get,
When you've outfoxed the cops?
Here's my card ,
I'm the Continental Op

Yeawho are they gonna get,
When you've outfoxed the cops?
Here's my badge,
I'm the Continental Op

Yea
