Private Eye - The Olympic

Bless my soul what’s wrong with me

I must be losing my grip

My girl’s got a liking and it sure ain’t me

It’s the guys on 77 Sunset Strip

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a private eye

A hep cool cat with a short billed hat

I wanna be a private eye

I bought two tickets to the neighborhood show

Just to have myself a little fun

I went to her house and I knocked on her door

She was sitting in the den watching Peter Gunn

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a ham and get a girl named Sam

I wanna be a private eye

Well I wanna be like old Sam Spade

Perry Mason won’t have nothing on me

If they want me to be like Richard Diamond

Always going round like a Simple Simon

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a private eye

I’m gonna get real mean like Ellery Queen

I wanna be a private eye

Now here I am in a lawless year

Line up like (untelligible) McGraw

I’m gonna drag my net through my secret door

I’m gonna get on the side of Johnny Law

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a private eye

Gonna sit down grinning, just call me Brennan

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a private eye

I wanna be a private eye
