Rory Gallagher - Continental Op (To: Dashiel Hammet) Lyrics

Send "Continental Op (To: Dashiel Hammet)" ringtone to your cell

There's a body in the bay

The cops are taking it away

They said this case was closed

It only shows you that never know

So who they gonna get

When the troubles 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 millionairess

But I saw you leavin' town

I'm gonna have to track you down

Just like a hound

You slipped through the web

And you might have dodged the Feds

But who they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops

Here's my number

I'm the Continental Op

Call the agency we never close

First consultation is free

Check my reputation check my pose

But first 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 as smart as he thinks

'Cause who they gonna get

When the trouble's gotta stop

Here's my card

I'm the Continental Op

There's a body in the bay

The cops have taken it away

They say this case was closed

It only shows that you never know

Bruises 'round the neck

When they did a body check

I saw you leaving town

I'll track you down like a hound

Who they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cop

Here's my card

I'm the Continental Op

Yeah who they gonna get

When you've out foxed they cops

Here's my badge

I'm the Continental Op
