[Charlie Hopkins as "Sherlock"]
[Mark Gregory as "John"]
[Elliott Crossley as "Moriarty", "Lestrade", & "Mycroft"]

[Violin Solo]

[Intro: "Sherlock"]
Hey, John, can we go crime solving?
What-what, what, what?
What-what, what, what?
What-what, what, what?
What-what, what, what?
What-what, what, what? (Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah)
What-what, what, what? (Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah)
What-what, what, what? (Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah)
What-what, what, what? (Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah)
Oh!
Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah
Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah (Oh!)
Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah
Ba-dup, ba-dup, ba-dup-do-dah

[Chorus: "Sherlock"]
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome
[Verse 5: "Sherlock" & "Moriarty"]
He had a pair of glasses, I stole his pair of glasses
I stole some eyeliner, then I drew a mustache
(Oh!)
"Hello, hello, my ace man, my Mellow!"
John ain't happy about my resurrection, hell no (Oh!)
I could take some Pro Wings, search them good, bingo!
Moriarty be like, "Aw, he solved the Velcros" (Oh!)

[Chorus: "Sherlock"]
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner (Oh!)
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner (Oh!)
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome

[Verse 6: "Sherlock"]
Whatcha knowin' about rockin' some curls on your noggin?
Whatcha knowin' about wearin' a deerstalker? (Oh!)
I'm digging, I'm digging
I'm searching for pink luggage
One man's trash, that's another man's come-up (Oh!)
There's The Woman, who's seductive
She's naked and defrocked

Stole her phone, the code was SHERLOCKED (Uh!)
I'm at the flat, you can find me at (Baker Street)
Any, any client, I'm accepting at (Baker Street)
[Verse 7: "Sherlock" & "Mycroft"]
Your hubby, your aunty, your grandpa, your bunny
I took that "Bloody Guardsman" case, secondhand, solved it in my Mind Palace
"The Hollow Client" that was solved in my Mind Palace
Serial killers, oh it's Christmas in my Mind Palace
They be like, "Oh, my brother's a psychopath"
I'm like, "Yo, a high functioning sociopath"

Limited edition, let's do some simple deduction
The Van Buren Supernova, that painting is a fake, bitch!

[Verse 8: "Sherlock" & "John"]
Damn!
I call that getting swindled and tricked
Damn!
I call that the Science of Deduction (Oh!)
That club was hella dough
But searching for a clue while intoxicated in this room is a hella don't (Oh!)
Think hard, let's play a game—a game of murder
Trying to wake me from my drugs, and you hella won't (Oh!)

[Pre-Chorus: "Sherlock" & "John"]
Man, you hella won't
Sherlock, cluin' for looks
Yeah-hahaha!

[Chorus: "Sherlock"]
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner (Oh!)
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome (Oh!)
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner (Oh!)
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome (Oh!)

[Bridge: "Sherlock" & "John"]
You know the game is on
I look incredible
I'm in this big ass coat
From that flat, 221B
You know the game is on (Damn right!)
I look incredible (Come on, man!)
I'm in this big ass coat (Big ass coat!)
From that flat, 221B (Let's go!)

[Chorus: "Sherlock"]
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner (Oh!)
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome (Oh!)
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner (Oh!)
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome (Oh!)
I'm gonna solve a case
Only got John Watson as my partner (Oh!)
I–I–I'm huntin', lookin' for a come-up
This is bloody awesome (Oh!)

[Spoken: "Moriarty"]
Miss me?

[Skit: Steven Moffat & Louis Moffat]
Hey, Hillywood, keep it down!
Trying to make Series 4 in here
Shhhh! (And action!)

[Skit: "Sherlock" & "John"]
What are you doing?
It's the credits
What's it need credits for?

[Violin Solo]
