On the Tube
Sung by John to the tune of "Up on the Roof" by Carole King
When murderous cabbies start getting you down
And walking six miles is just too much to face
Just climb right down in that tube underground
And let it take you to your latest case
On the tube, it's peaceful as a zoo
And there the world above won't bother you
When you're coming home drenched in sewage and blood
And taxi drivers give you a wide berth
Just find a sign for the Bakerloo line
And take that magic train under the earth
On the tube, they have to let you ride
Even when you look like you've just died
Just get right on the tube
At night the freaks put on a show for free
And Sherlock it will bring you home to me
I keep on telling you…
If you want me to give you some love
When the corner shop is out of lube
No need to wander the streets up above
We can go to get some on the tube
Let's go shopping for lube
Oh, come on, baby
We're going shopping for lube
Down on the tube
...
