In the audience are the police brass)
Just sitting there on their collective bleeep
They are caught up in the play
While Tracy, Johnny tries to slay
Tracy, once a great man of bravery and skill
Just runs around now making noises that are shrill
The years have certainly taken their toll on him
That great light of law and order is growing dim
A sad pathetic shadow of his former self
It’s time he were put on the shelf
How unfortunate has been his fate
That he was allowed to sink to this state
No longer is he worthy of being respected
He has been cast aside and neglected
No sunset ride for our detective
Who sadly has become defective
The time has come to pull the plug
And sweep him quietly under the rug.
