Dateline, always on the tv

I’d make a stellar private eye

So many criminal wannabes

To arrest and charge for life

Rarely do they have a plan or plausible alibi

And you know, it doesn’t take a scientist

Comfy armchair, private eyes

Tom Cruise, missions not impossible

Easy for someone, as skilled as me

Distracting you from my real life, imagining me on your tv
