The Lyrics

Where the tide’s swells accrue,
There, in kelp’s slime
He sees the body—what’s he do?
He goes flyin’
For help, but eyein’
Him run are two gals that
Were walking around.
They think he’s no pal that
Had strangled her to fake that she’d drowned.

The gals are tellin’ to
The cops: “The swine. . .
The crime!”

He says to
Cops: “Di’n’t do
It, that’s true!”
So he flew, and he vowed
To get out there
To prove it weren’t he.
The cop’s kid’s wowed
By Bobby

They find the skel; the two
Start making time.
