lyrics

Everybody’s looking- everybody searching
But nobody knows his real name
You’d better need his service you’d better not be playin’
Cos never treats his craft as a game
If you’re ever in trouble
Theft or deceit
He’ll hear about it from the word on the street

Refrain...
You might see his shadow from the corner of your eye
Or might hear someone from a street stall cry
He’s a private eye

With his pulled over his wrap around shades
With his coat collar turned to the sky
Keeping to the doorways out of the light
In the shadows he’s silent and sly
Making his movements like a big old cat
He knows whats happening he knows where its at

Refrain

He’s a cold cool cat when it comes to the girls
Its with him they want to be seen
He keeps ‘em coming with a promise ar a maybe
You should never be seen to be keen

Refrain

Down in the alley there’s the howl of a dog
And the sound of a shot fills the air
Clattering footsteps down by the bins
A coke bottle rolls down the stair

If you’re ever in trouble
Theft or deceit
He’ll hear about it from the word on the street
If you don’t see his shadow from the corner of your eye
You might hear someone from a street stall cry
He’s a private eye
