Continental Op Lyrics

Rory Gallagher) There'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 going to get when the trouble's got to 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 millionaires 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 But 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 op Call the agency, we never close First consultation is free Check my reputation, check my pose But 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 so smart as he thinks

'Cause who are they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops Here's my card I'm the continental op

'Cause who are they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops Here's my badge I'm the continental op
