_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ This is [G] the woods.
My name is Wednesday.
I work out a homicide.
[C] Monday, February 2nd,
[Cm] 1022 AM, [A] bumped into [D] Chicken Licking.
Told me the sky was falling.
I booked her on the
614 and turned over to the psychiatrist.
[Ab] Then a call came in on the 503.
[G] When I was on my
way, the 503, the 618 [Cm] came in.
I had up the 503, the [C] 614, the 618, [Ab] got $1,735.
_ [G] _
I handed
in my paper to the chief.
He corrected it, gave me 100%.
Patted me on the head.
Told
me I was a good cop. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [A] 1145 AM, it happened.
I saw a little [G] girl in a blue hood carrying
a basket.
I stopped the question.
_ _ Pardon me, ma'am, can I [D] talk to you just a minute, ma'am?
What about?
Nothing much, ma'am.
Just want to ask you a few questions.
What's your name?
Little Blue Riding Hood.
Where are you going?
To Grandma's house.
What do you got in the
basket?
What are you _ _ _ talking about?
No, ma'am, I didn't say that.
Then why are you asking
me all these questions, fool?
Just routine, ma'am.
We just want to get the facts.
May
have a look in that basket.
See my gift?
_ [N] _ _ Sawed-off shotgun, _ _ bludgeon, _ _ knife, _ _ box of
dum-dum shells. _ _
Nothing suspicious here. _ _ _ _ _
All right, ma'am, we may want to talk to you later,
so don't leave the [Ab] woods. _
_ _ [Am] _ She [A] skipped on down the path, but she didn't know I'd seen the
concealed [A] compartment in the basket.
In it, what I'd suspected all along, _ goodies.
_ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ My
job, get to Grandma's before she did.
I took a shortcut to the strawberry patch.
It was
sort of a strawberry shortcut.
_ _ _ [Gb] I walked into the cottage and rang the bell.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] Come in, dear.
_ [B] _
_ [D] _ _ Okay, Grandma, it's a raid.
A raid?
Why, I'm just a peace-loving old lady.
You've got the
wrong Grandma.
Yes, ma'am, we just want to get the facts.
Where'd you get that bump on
your head?
The sky fell on me this morning.
_ [E] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] I made a note to book her on the 614 and turned
over to the [G] psychiatrist.
_ Then I tied her up, put her in the closet, put on [G] the Grandma
suit and got into bed.
[N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Come in, ma'am.
Hello, Grandma. _ _ _ _
_ I'm feeling poorly.
_ What big ears
you have.
All the better to get the facts.
I just want to get the facts, ma'am. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
All the
better to serve you with. _ _ _ _
Police says you have pointed at me.
All the better to take
you in.
_ You're under arrest.
You and your Grandma are operating a goodies ring.
_ _ _ _ _ Knowing
_ what, ma'am?
You look nothing like my Grandma.
You forgot about the mustache. _ _ _
But I don't
have a mustache.
I know, but Grandma does.
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ I see you broke the goodies [Gm] ring.
How'd you
get a lead on her, Joe?
[G] I just played a hunch, Frank.
Just a hunch.
Just a lucky guess.
Sometimes
a hunch pays off, sometimes it doesn't.
I was just lucky.
I just played a hunch, Frank.
What you're trying [Ebm] to say is you just played a hunch, [G] Joe.
In other words, it was a lucky
guess.
Sometimes a hunch pays off, sometimes it doesn't.
You just played a hunch.
Is that
what you're trying to tell me, Joe?
Yeah.
I just played a hunch. _ _
