When he was just a little boy
He used to hole up in his room all day
Reading little boy stories of the heroes in the CIA
Now he's all grown up there's a villain to k**
He's on a top secret mission with a suicide pill
(Chorus)
Really what could be more important
He's a finger on the iron hand
Oh he's a lethal detective man
He's got some secret little bu*tons on a panel in his bedroom wall
And his high-powered rifle folds as little as a ping-pong ball
It's a top-state secret even he don't know
So he's trackin' down the soviets, ready, set, go
(Chorus)
His Bolivian ties are keeping him wise to the Compasino's poses
So he'll blow `em away a couple a day
Until their dirty business closes
If it's a bit of a shame hell he isn't to blame
We got to keep the c**aine out of North American noses
Lethal detective man
He's into covert operations he can read `em in a dead man's eye
He's as stealthy as a leopard when he's tailing all the Kremlin guys
So if he don't get shot at if he stays the best
He can run it someday from the old man's desk
(Repeat Chorus)
He's a lethal detective, a lethal detective
A little defective, a lethal detective
