I've been searching, mm-mm
I've been searching
I've been searching every which way, yeah
I've been searching
Oh searching, a-ah
I've been searching every which way, yeah
But I'm like a North West Mountie
You know I'll bring him in some day
I've been searching
Sergeant Friday, Charlie Chan
They got nothin' child on me
And Sam Spade and Sherlock Holmes
And Boston Blackie
No matter where he's hiding
He gonna see me comin'
I'm gonna walk right down that street
Like Bulldog Drummond
'Cause I've been searching
Oh searching
I've been searching every which way, yeah
And I'm like a North West Mountie
You know I'll bring him in some day
Ah I've been searching
Well if have to climb a mountain
You know I will
And if I have to swim a river
You know I will
And if he's up there hiding on Blueberry Hill
Am I gonna find the child?
You know I will
'Cause I've been searching
Oh searching
I've been searching every which way, yeah
And I'm like a North West Mountie
You know I'll bring him in some day
I've been searching
And I'm like a North West Mountie
You know I'll bring him in some day
