  Elemetary my dear Watson
  compare a keen mind
  to that of a hansom
  well kept and cared for
  free from defect, damage
  and useless lore
  for a sharp mind solves from within
  a touch of common sense, reason
  observation and we can begin
  the facts are there waiting to be seen
  and compiled and stored
  by the mind thats keen
  the commonplace is far more interesting
  than the fabulous feats
  that are in essence a false thing
  a trouser's worn tattered knee
  can tell a story a true
  just like the lady's perfect sleeve
  come and see Watson come and see
  the tales of crime laid bare
  all found and solved by me
  crimes are no longer a mystery
  for I tell you this
  Elementary my dear Watson
