Lestrade Track

A Study in Scarlet - a Rock Opera by Nutmeg

He's a rat-faced, sallow, and dark-eyed man
If you break the law he'll catch you if he can
With 20 years police work he should be up to scratch
But with Sherlock Holmes he's really met his match
He's ferret-like, sly, furtive and lean
His time-keepings good, he's always first on the scene
But being out of his depth is his normal state
Then again, on the plus side, at least he's never late

Lestrade, Lestrade, he makes detecting seem quite hard
Lestrade, Lestrade, he works in Scotland Yard
Lestrade, Lestrade, he makes detecting seem quite hard
Lestrade, Lestrade, he works in Scotland Yard

His left foot is twisted when he walks
He sounds like an imbecile when he talks
But at least he's able to take short hand
When he works in his office, just down from the Strand
His clue finding skills are completely defective
He really is the most conventional detective
But he and Gregson are the pick of a bad lot
Sso we'll have to put up with what we've got

Lestrade, Lestrade, he makes detecting seem quite hard
Lestrade, Lestrade, he works in Scotland Yard
Lestrade, Lestrade, he makes detecting seem quite hard
Lestrade, Lestrade, he works in Scotland Yard
