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
