New York Dolls - Bad Detective Lyrics

New York Dolls Lyrics

"Bad Detective"

Well, I got a tip from China
That they stole ol Kubla Khan
So I took an ocean liner
Down to old Hong Kong

I was searchin' round the sea port
I called up all the gang
They's trippin' and a shakin'
When they called me Charley Chan

Cause I'm a bad detective
And I always get my man
Baby yes, I am
Said I'm a bad detective
I could stand a lendin' hand
Oh baby, yes I can

Honorable son
I've been a number one
Eat a fried rice
And a egg foo yung
Stand lookin' at me there
With your stupid face
While your pop (me) goes out
And solves the case

Cause I'm a bad detective
And I always get my man
Baby yes, I am
Said I'm a bad detective
I could stand a lendin' hand
Oh baby, yes I can
