pikachu, detective pikachu

i was working late one balmy humid evening down the office

when a human kid named tim came racing in straight out the darkness

he claimed his old man had vanished asked my hand in looking harder

'cause he wasn't the kind of bum father to just up and scarper

something was more than wrong

he could see this all along

could read the calling card of evil

hear the morbid song

i'm detective pikachu

people don't believe the news that pikachu could be the dude

to piece the clues and leads

pursue the creep

deduce the seedy truth

pikachu will peek at you

through his magnifying glass

and see the truth you seek to hide under that lying ass

but i'm not buying that

you think i was born yesterday?

i've had the best of dames test my aim

she never gets away

i'll never rest my case

until the perp is stuck in the clink

then i might hit the bar to celebrate and buy a cigar to puff with my drink

double scotch on the rocks

still grafting hard when off the clock

she must have strapped a rock to the body

pushed it off the dock

a hot cup of joe to pick me up like i'm cutting blow

another all nighter

i require that get up and go

i'm detective pikachu

following the leads and clues

i'm detective pikachu

following the trail of seeds to you

peekaboo

peekaboo

it's pikachu but keep it to yourself

be careful who you tell or you could well undo the spell

we meet the clientele behind the stairwell of the hotel

it's show and tell

they show and tell

and then we go and smell

the trail

till we've made the perpetrators only home a cell

i've never lost a case yet so it's tough to oversell

now farewell

i have to bounce like a basketball

'cause suspects are just like pokemon

i gotta catch 'em all

i'm detective pikachu

following the leads and clues

i'm detective pikachu

following the trail of seeds to you

peekaboo
