Continental Op (Live At The Cork Opera House, Ireland/1987) - Rory Gallagher

There's a body in the bay

The cops are taking it away

They said this case was closed

It only shows you that never know

So who they gonna get

When the troubles got to stop

Here's my card

I'm the Continental Op

Jane Doe in the bay

Now that's exhibit 'A'

Bloodstains on the dress of the millionairess

But I saw you leavin' town

I'm gonna have to track you down

You slipped through the web

And you might have dodged the Feds

But who they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops

Here's my number

I'm the Continental Op

Call the agency we never close

First consultation is free

Check my reputation check my pose

But first check my fee

There's a menace on the streets

Offering infants sweets

Don't give this man a ride

Lock your car from the inside

He's suspect No 1

But I guess his race is run

He left a set of prints

He's not as smart as he thinks

'Cause who they gonna get

When the trouble's gotta stop

Here's my card

I'm the Continental Op

Cause who they gonna get

When the trouble's gotta stop

Here's my card

I'm the Continental Op

There's in the bay
