As a lad he learned to play
Concert music his fathers way
And as he grew to his dads dismay
Rock and roll was all he wanted to play
To fund his band he stole the strad
Just another good boy gone to bad
Just another good boy gone to bad
He disappeared with the goods
And went and sold it to some hoods
When dad found out he sure was pissed
The Stradivarius was what he really missed
He missed it so much he blew his crown
And went at sonny in a big smack down
And went at sonny in a big smack down
Tracy was then assigned to the case
Lizz wanted the precinct to save face
And as to what she could be thinking
Of that we don’t even have an inkling
And of late I think we can all attest
His detective skills are not the best
His detective skills are not the best
The Stradivarius was a marvelous thing
It could alter the number of it’s strings
And with strings so many and so few
Surely there’d be an argument or two
Though what we have come to suspect
It’s just another matter of neglect
It’s just another matter of neglect
Now there comes an embassy ball
Someone’s in for a great big fall
Father, son, and Tracy too
They’re all together in this stew
The pace moves faster than before
But there’s still the matter of the Petifor
But there’s still the matter of the Petifor.
“The HMS Petifor”
