[Verse 1]

40 detectives this week,
40 detectives strong,
Takin’ a stroll down Love Street,
Strollin’ is that so wrong,
Can I get my co-defendant.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hump de bump doop bodu,
Bump de hump doop bop,
Hump de bump doop bodu,
Bump de hump doop bodu,
Hump de bump doop bop,
Bump de hump doop bodu,
Bump bump.

[Chorus 1]

It Must have been a hundred miles,
Any of a hundred styles,
It’s not about the smile you wear,
But the way we make out.
When I was an all-aloner,
Nothin’ but a two beach comber,
Anybody seen the sky? I’m,
I’m wide awake now.

[Verse 2]

Workin’ the beat as we speak,
Workin’ the belle du monde,
Believe in the havoc we wreak,
Believin’, is that so wrong,
Can I get my co-dependent.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hump de bump doop bodu,
Bump de hump doop bop,
Hump de bump doop bodu,
Bump de hump doop bodu,
Hump de bump doop bop,
Bump de hump doop bodu,
Bump bump.

[Chorus 2]

It Must have been a hundred miles,
Any of a hundred styles,
It’s not about the smile you wear,
But the way we make out.
When I was an all-aloner,
Nothin’ but a two beach comber,
Anybody seen the sky? I’m,
I’m wide awake now.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hump de bump doop bodu,
Bump de hump doop bop,
Hump de bump doop bodu,
Bump de hump doop bodu,
Hump de bump doop bop,
Bump de hump doop bodu,
Bump bump.

[Chorus 3]

Listen to me what I said,
Try to get it through your head,
A little bit of circumstance and
A chance to make out.
Livin’ in a citadel,
It’s hard enough to be yourself,
Waiting for the bell to toll,
And I’m wide awake now.

It Must have been a hundred miles,
Any of a hundred styles,
It’s not about the smile you wear,
But the way we make out.
When I was all-aloner,
Nothin’ but a two beach comber,
Anybody seen the sky? I’m,
I’m wide awake now.
