The Coasters – Bad Detective Lyrics

Blues

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bop-she-bop-she-bop, a-ling, ting, tong
Bop-she-bop-she-bop, a-rama-lama-ding-dong
Bop-she-bop-she-bop, booly-booly-shoo
Bop-she-bop, ooga-boog-a-shooga-boog-a

Well, I got a tip from China
They stole old Buddha's gong
So I took that ocean liner
And I sailed for old Hong Kong
I was searching 'round the seaport
And I cornered all the gays
They were trembling and a-shaking
When they saw me, Charlie Chan

'Cause I'm a bandit, red-tailed
And I always been the man
Yes, I did, 'cause I'm a bandit, red-tailed
And I'll trouble you in the can
Yes, I will, ooga-boog-a-shooga-boog-a

Honorable son, number one
Eating fried rice and the egg foo young
Sitting there beating your stupid face
While your papi go out and he solve the case

'Cause I'm a bandit, red-tailed
And I always been the man
Yes, I did, 'cause I'm a bandit, red-tailed
And I'll trouble you in the can
Yes, I will, ooga-boog-a-shooga-boog-a

We trapped them in a warehouse
And much to our surprise
There were five big machine guns
Staring in our eyes
With a step over toe and a judo chop
Then I tied their hands
And Birmingham cried out loud and said
"Mr. Chan's in command"

'Cause I'm a bandit, red-tailed
And I always been the man
Yes, I did, I'm a bandit, red-tailed
And I'll trouble you in the can
Just as soon as I can, ooga-boog-a-shooga-boog-a

Well, Mr. Chan solved the case
But, but, but, but, Mr. Chan
Mr. Chan, something got a hold, Mr. Chan
Please do me a favor now
Birmingham been busy, see
Mr. Chan
Mr. Chan
Mr. Chan
