Lyrics

Detective Mindhorn
With your caterpillar face
Detective Mindhorn
Won't you open up this case
I'm a butterfly that jealous fingers framed
No one wants to be ashamed

Detective Mindhorn
Won't you open up your chest
Detective Mindhorn
Deep in solitude at rest
Everybody's guilty till their innocence is proved
And your innocence just moved

Detective Mindhorn
Detective Mindhorn
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Detective Mindhorn
Every episode is true
Detective Mindhorn
And it sticks to you like glue
Every costume is a uniform of sorts
Every thousand's made of noughts

Detective Mindhorn
Detective Mindhorn
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
