THE GREAT DETECTIVE.
(Tune: The Great Pretender)
lyrics by
Helen
Oh yes, I'm the great detective,
The wonderful Remington Steele.
I look the part, and I try the art,
Alas, it will never be real.
Oh yes, I'm the great detective,
And dressed for the part, as you see.
I like the ties, but in Laura's eyes
There's nothing impressive in me.
I dream of the day I will solve the case
And bask in the wondering look on her face.
Oh yes, I'm the great detective,
A genius seen in the press.
The agency can depend on me.
I'd have to be mad to confess
And leave Laura's dreams in a mess.
Oh yes, I'm the great detective,
The wonderful Remington Steele.
I look the part, and I try the art,
Alas, it will never be real.
But I'll keep my side of the deal.
