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
