GUMSHOE-
Fm Db
I consider myself to be a real man's man
Eb Caug
The kinda guy who won't back down from a fight
Fm Ab
I keep this city clean, pal, and I live like a king
Bb Caug
...Though I eat ramen noodles every night.
Db Ab
But despite my gruff exterior, I know I ain't superior
Gb C
My skills at solving crimes can sometimes rust...
Db Ab Ab/G Fm
So I'm swallowing my pride, this time I'm on your side,
Db Caug F Am Bb Caug
and I'm the kinda guy that you can trust!
F Am7 Ab
Well, I know we've butted heads before, startin' with the
C6
case of Harry Butz
(PHOENIX: That's Larry)
F Ab
And if the chief catches me helpin' you,
Bb C
he'll probably think I'm nuts
(if he doesn't already)
Dm Am Dm
But see, pal, this is different from the Redd White trial
Am
back in May
(PHOENIX: September)
Ab Eb Db
'Cause I'm sure Mr. Edgeworth ain't Guilty, unlike the client
C
you had that day!
-MAYA-
That was me!
-GUMSHOE-
Oh. Sorry.
F Am7
So if you need help, just call me and
Ab C6
I'll be there in a flash!
F Ab
And to show you that we're pals now, I'll
Ab C
lend you anything that ain't cash!

-MAYA-
Dm Am Dm
Oh thank you, kind detective! We'll leave von Karma in
Am
the dust!

-GUMSHOE-
Ab Eb Db C
We'll find the lies, now I'm the kinda guy that you can
F
trust!

[spoken, over music]
(over gumshoe's part): Db Eb F Db Eb F
I'm serious, pal! If there's anything I can do to help get Mr.
Edgeworth declared "Not Guilty," I'm all ears! We're a team
now, see! I don't care if it gets me another salary cut.

-PHOENIX-
(over phoenix's part): Dm Am Dm Am
Well, considering the past couple of cases where you
happened to make things worse for the defendants, it'd
probably be best if you didn't interf-

(then until the next verse): Ab Eb Db C, F Bb F Bb Ab Bb Caug

-MAYA-
Nick! Detective Gumshoe is putting his job on the line for
us; the least we can do is take advantage of his sudden
kindly nature!

-GUMSHOE-
Yeah, pal!

-MAYA-
Detective, any chance you could help us find Gourdy
somehow?

-GUMSHOE-
You bet! I've got three secret weapons, listen up and
take your pick.

[now sung]
F Am7
First up, shake hands with our department's
Ab C6
best evidence-seeking tool.
F Ab Bb
This pooch is so advanced it makes me look like
C
a bumbling fool!
Dm Am Dm Am
I found him in the gutter, on a sad, cold winter's night
Ab Eb Db
He's my pal, though he gives the hand that feeds him quite
C
a bite.
F Am7 Db
You can call him Missile, he'll find any drugs or clues
C
you need.

-PHOENIX-
F Ab
Well, he should come in handy if the Gourd Lake
Bb C
Monster's been smoking weed.

-GUMSHOE-
Dm Am Dm
Hey! No need for sarcasm, Missile's helped with many a
Am
bust.
Ab Eb Db C
And if you feed him, he's the kinda guy that you can
F
trust!
Bbm Eb
The second here's this fishing pole and my
Bbm Eb
fondest memory
Bbm Gm
of a fishing trip I got to take
C F
with Maggey, a cute trainee!

-PHOENIX-
Db Eb Fm
We can't catch Gourdy with that!
Db Eb Fm
And we can't sit around and just wait!

-GUMSHOE-
Ab Bb Eb
You'll only know if you try!
Ab Bb Csus C
You just need the right kind of bait!

-PHOENIX-
Like...Missile?

-GUMSHOE/MAYA-
"What!?" "Nick!" "You're under arrest, pal!"

-PHOENIX-
Sorry, sorry!

-GUMSHOE-
F Am7 Ab Caug
I've saved the best for last, this metal detector's real intense!
F Ab Bb C
Last month this baby even found me twenty-five whole cents!

-PHOENIX-
Dm Am Dm
We're looking for a monster, not change from someone's
Am
pants.

-GUMSHOE-
Ab Eb Db C F
Well, you never know, pal, it may have been eating soda cans!
D G Bm7 Bb D
So that's what I can lend you, my loyal lawyer chums!

-MAYA-
G Bb
Oh wow, they're all so perfect!

-PHOENIX-
C D
Um yeah, I can't pick just one...ugh.

-GUMSHOE-
Em Bm G A B
Now go help Mr. Edgeworth! To free him is a must!
C D G
And I'm the kinda guy that you can trust.

-CODY-
When the moon is bright with a pale, blue light
And trouble is nearby.
Only one man fights for what is right:
The Steel Samurai!
And all heroes know when it's time to go
And face their destined fate!
For who should show, but his deadly foe,
The Evil Magistrate!
I saw it with my own two eyes, and it was really great!

-PHOENIX-
I'm to understand that you're a big Samurai fan.
You watch the show every week.
Now you have a hand in being a hero to this man,
the truth is the only thing I seek.

-CODY-
With a samurai punch and a samurai slash, that battle had caused a deafening crash!
He dodged a strike with a samurai dash, the villain paid for his sins!
With a samurai slap and a samurai chop, that samurai pain just never stopped!
He came on top while the Magistrate dropped, 'cause the samurai always wins!

-EDGEWORTH-
Wright! The truth is, this fragile youth is sure of that ruthless attack!
So, stop pressing him, hoping that he'll crack!

-PHOENIX-
I'm trying to keep The Steel Samurai out of jail...
please, if you could, try to go into more detail.

-CODY-
What I saw that day was a grim display-
An evil man's demise. (PHOENIX: Uh-oh)
And I stood nearby when the Samurai
shot lasers from his eyes! (PHOENIX: Wait, what?)
And he flew up high, reaching to the sky
A bright metallic sheen!
The hero chose to strike a pose
And then he flew the scene!
It was just like in episode two-hundred seventeen!

[spoken, over music]
-PHOENIX-
OBJECTION! Cody, what sort of murderer uses a "samurai slap!?" Or for that matter, shoots lasers from his eyes?

-EDGEWORTH-
OBJECTION! Clearly, the witness merely has an active imagination--

-PHOENIX-
OBJECTION! You know as well as I do that the witness is being vague! He still hasn't testified to seeing the finishing stab. And I think I know why...

[sung]
Cody, you have shown you've got a camera of your own.
You never miss any shots.
If you could show a picture of the killing blow,
it could help us connect the dots...

'Cause you keep all pictures in an album titled "Path to Glory."
With the killing blow from every show to tell a hero's story!
And I'll tell you this, something is amiss, for there's no reason or rhyme...
And for what it's worth, no way on Earth did Cody see this crime!
Tell the truth, witness, this is the last time!

-JUDGE-
Mr. Wright, what is the meaning of this?

(simultaneously:)

-CODY-
With a samurai kick and a samurai punch
and a samurai triple-suplex-crunch,
the Samurai flipped and spun a bunch;
he'd win no matter the cost!
With a samura chop and a samurai slap,
the Magistrate felt a sickening snap,
and he was about to have a dirt nap
'cause the Samurai's never lost!

-PHOENIX-
Please
no more lies
I have tried
to use a light touch.
I'm
trying to pre-
serve the show that you
love so much.

(simultaneously:)

-CODY-
With a samurai dodge and a samurai block
and a samurai ultra-tough headlock
and the poor Magistrate could only gawk
for he had no help from friends.
With his samurai spear gleaming in the sun,
his samurai battle almost done,
he had his fun and had finally won,
'cause the Samurai ALWAYS wins!

-PHOENIX-
Please
tell the truth.
This is just
a fictitious tale.
I'm
trying to keep
the Steel Samurai
out of jail.

-EDGEWORTH-
Wright, you dunce.
Stop this at once.
You're badgering a
child. I won't allow it!
Cease these accu-
sations please,
this questioning
is wild!

-JUDGE-
Order, order!
