== The Ghost of Sherlock Holmes ==

'''1''' 
Don't start, and pray don't leave your seats, 
There's no cause for alarm; 
Though I've arrived from warmer sphere, 
I mean you all no harm. 
I am a ghost, a real ghost too, 
That nightly earthward roams; 
In fact, I am the spectre of Detective Sherlock Holmes. 
Detective Sherlock Holmes.

'''Chorus:''' 
''"Sherlock, Sherlock,"'' 
''You can hear the people cry!'' 
''"That's the ghost of Sherlock Holmes,"'' 
''As I go creeping by...'' 
''Sinners shake and tremble'' 
''Wherever this bogie roams...'' 
''And people shout, "He's found us out.'' 
''It's the ghost of Sherlock Holmes." Holmes." Holmes."''

'''2''' 
The man who plots a murder, when 
He sees me flit ahead, 
Forgets to murder anyone, 
And "suicides" instead. 
An anarchist with lighted bomb 
To cause explosive scenes, 
Sees me, and drops the bomb, and blows 
Himself to smithereens!

'''Chorus:''' 
''"Sherlock, Sherlock,"'' 
''You can hear the people cry!'' 
''"That's the ghost of Sherlock Holmes,"'' 
''As I go creeping by...'' 
''Sinners shake and tremble'' 
''Wherever this bogie roams...'' 
''And people shout, "He's found us out.'' 
''It's the ghost of Sherlock Holmes." Holmes." Holmes."''

'''3''' 
The burglar who's a-burgling, when 
He finds that I'm at large, 
Gets scared and says, "Policeman, will 
You please take me in charge?" 
The lady who's shop-lifting tries 
To put her thievings back, 
And says, "Oh, Mr. Sherlock, I'm 
A Kleptomaniac!'

'''Chorus:''' 
''"Sherlock, Sherlock,"'' 
''You can hear the people cry!'' 
''"That's the ghost of Sherlock Holmes,"'' 
''As I go creeping by...'' 
''Sinners shake and tremble'' 
''Wherever this bogie roams...'' 
''And people shout, "He's found us out.'' 
''It's the ghost of Sherlock Holmes." Holmes." Holmes."''
