The song has been created to run alongside my children's book "The Mystery of the Missing Hambone" it's a fun little number and my first attempt at using Songer.Co in this way. I hope you enjoy it, I do!
Lyrics below to Sherlock Bones is on the Case:
[Intro]
Hey there, gather 'round, it's time to kick it right
Shelley the beagle's here, ready for a fun-filled night
With her nose in the air, and her pals by her side
Let’s track down that hambone, with laughter and pride
[Verse 1]
Shelley was a puppy, curious and spry
Her tail wagging wild, as she watched the day fly by
Then came Miss Bethany, oh what a surprise!
A hambone in her paws, oh that caught Shelley's eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
But wait just a second, what's this? Oh no!
The tasty treasure’s gone, where did it go?
Sniffing through the house, she’s got her detective cap
Sherlock Bones is on the case, it's time to close the gap
[Chorus]
She’s Sherlock Bones, sniff sniffing away
Under the sofa and around the kitchen, hooray!
With her nose on the ground, and her friends close behind
Shelley the beagle, let the mystery unwind
[Verse 2]
First stop, the sofa! Let’s check down low,
Nothing but dust bunnies, just a little show
Then on to the kitchen, her nose leads the way,
Her friends all cheer her on, “You got this, hooray!”
[Pre-Chorus]
Still no hambone found, what to do next?
Shelley spins 'round, ready for this quest
The kitchen drawer calls, she’s got to try her luck,
Maybe it's hiding with a plate or a cup!
[Chorus]
She’s Sherlock Bones, sniff sniffing away
Under the sofa and around the kitchen, hooray!
With her nose on the ground, and her friends close behind
Shelley the beagle, let the mystery unwind
[Bridge]
Time to shake it out, let’s dance and groove
Shelley's leading the line, oh watch her move!
If you love a good adventure, join in the fun,
We’ll find that hambone, we’re not done!
[Outro]
Finally, there it is, the lost hambone shines bright,
Shelley wins the day, oh what a joyful sight!
With her friends all around, they dance through the night,
Sherlock Bones and the gang, feeling just right!
