There's an old man
Living down on Baker Street
That tells remarkable stories
He's a war veteran
But he never talks about that
He tells tales about a different war
One fought on the streets
between two mad geniuses
He talks about a hero
More than a little bit strange
Who knew everything about you
Just from looking at your shoes
But didn't know the solar system
He tells such fantastical stories
The children can't keep away
But grown ups talk in whispers
About the old man on Baker Street
They say that he's a fool
And that all his stories are a lie
But the children who come
Don't believe their parents
Because when the old man talks
His eyes light up like he's young again
And that's all the proof they need.
There's an old man
Living down on Baker's Street
Who tells the most wonderful stories
About a mad detective
About an insane criminal
About the lies that were told
Little children gather round him
And listen to stories about the hero
And slowly the lies are washed away
By a brave old man
Who still lives down on Baker Street
