Verse 1

Another case, another clue,

Another midnight rendezvous;

Some shrewd gum shoeing,

Some tender wooing--

Time out for romance!

Another crook, another fight,

Another huddle in quarters tight;

Some cautious sneaking,

Some cheek-to-cheeking--

Time out for romance!

     Mixing our work with pleasure;

     Rewriting all the rules.

     Learning to trust our instincts;

     Daring to follow through.

Another suspect, another steal,

Another evening of matchless thrills;

Some theorizing,

Some fantasizing--

Time out for romance!

 

Verse 2

Another scheme, another heist,

Another sweet romantic tryst;

A little sleuthing,

A little smooching--

Time out for romance!

Another crime, another chase,

Another thrilling moonlight embrace;

Some private eying,

Some wishful sighing--

Time out for romance!

     Mixing our work with pleasure;

     Learning to take a chance.

     Daring to seize each moment;

     Swaying to love's sweet dance.

Another mystery, another kiss;

Playing detective can be such bliss!

A lot of action,

A lot of passion--

Time out for romance!
