Tracy, ever the vigilant dick
He’s one who never misses a trick
Working hard on a case
Rain (maybe) blowing in his face
Plays the bum in the gutter
People regard him as a nutter
Tracy is a such master of disguise
But it only works if you close your eyes
Helping a woman who’s in need
Gets a buck for his deed
All is going according to plan
As he is sighted by the mystery man
A thousand dollar bill he is given
By what could this man be driven
Stupefied by the sight of the money
Tracy brain is acting funny
The “culprit” disappears in the rain
How can Tracy ever explain
That he lost the man he sought
And will his efforts come to naught
Cruising on down the streets
Questioning each bum he meets
They laugh at him like a clown
Tempting him to gun them down
Will this case ever be solved
Not as long as Tracy’s involved.
