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
