Watching the Detective

Here he comes
That little man
Nattily dressed
Spick and span

His funny accent
A dead giveaway
He won't get me
No, not today! 

He's clever though
But not more than I 
He does not know
How much I lie 

I've tricked him well 
For years and years 
He thinks I'm thick 
Wet 'tween the ears 

It suits me well 
To play the stooge 
While on the side 
My crimes are huge 

Gold and jewels 
My stock in trade 
I'm light fingered 
Fortunes I've made 

So I play the game
A friend of Poirot
I am Hastings... 
Poirots' my foe
