about

The theme song from the second Inspector Drake movie: Inspector Drake 2 - The Seagull. This quirky song features rather unusual lyrics which are actually a clue to solving the crime. For more information on the Drake movies or to grab a copy on DVD visit: www.davidtristram.weebly.com

lyrics

The man in the moon said
Write me a tune
I need something cool for a movie
And the fool on the hill said
I’ll pay the bill if it’s groovy

So I whistled my tune
To the man in the moon
And a cow jumped up in delight
The little bitch laughed when the
Dish grabbed the spoon
And they danced, and they danced through the night
And a cat played the fiddle
On the eight bar middle
And they danced and the danced...through the night

Hey ho – there you go
We’ve added a hook to our chorus
Hey ho, there you go.
Now it’s quite hard to ignore us

So listen my friend
Listen right to the end
And I promise I won’t waste your time
Cos I’m not just a twat in a comedy hat
I’m a serious clue to the crime.

No we’re not just twats in Comedy hats
We’re a serious clue to the crime
Yes our nursery rhyme
Is a clue to the crime
And it’s yours if you spare us a dime

So what if this wasn’t a folk song
What if the beat was less funky
What if the cow ran away with the spoon
And what if the bear was a monkey?
Yes what if the cow ran away with the spoon
And what if the bear was a monkey?
Hey ho – there you go
What if the bear...was a monkey.
