Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forty detectives this week
Forty detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down love street
Strollin', is that so wrong?
Can I get my co-defendant
[PreChorus]
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump doop bodu
Oh, no
Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump, bump, woo
[Chorus]
It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear but
The way we make out
When I was all-aloner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now
[Verse 2]
Workin' the beat as we speak
Workin' the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong?
Can I get my co-dependent?
[PreChorus]
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump, doop, bop
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump, doop, bop
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump, bump, come on
[Chorus]
It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear but
The way we make out
When I was all-aloner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now
[PreChorus]
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump doop bodu
Oh, no
Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump, bump, woo
[Verse 3]
Listen to me, what I said
Try to get it though your head
A little bit of circumstance
And a chance to make out
[Verse 4]
Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now
[Chorus]
It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear but
But the way we make out
When I was all-aloner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now
