Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And i always get my man

Said i'm a bad detective

Oh baby yes i can

And a egg foo yung
Stand lookin at me there
With your stupid face
While your pop (me) goes out
And solves the case
Cause i'm a bad detective
And i always get my man
Baby yes i am
Said i'm a bad detective
I could stand a lendin hand
Oh baby yes i can
