Accidentally

The cyanide tipped into the sweet tea

an accident that no-one saw coming

His victim was quite fragile and dainty

The culprit, evil and cunning

In the candlelit room, time was idle

yet the clock still continued to chime

The perfect setting for one, homicidal

pure delicacy for committing a crime

The detective led them to the study

to detain and observe every detail

His accent was garbled and muddy

he acted as dense as a doornail

Can any of you give an alibi?

at any time can you verify your whereabouts

Someone here, wanted someone to die

And I am here to figure it out

I will be compiling a tally

and I don't expect that I will be gentle

We've entered the realm of Death Valley

and I'll pull some teeth, if I need to get dental

I'm collecting your phones to see who you dial

In a few moments I will make a dent

The evidence is all over the tile

vaguely resembling naughty cat prints

It has finally become crystal clear

the culprit I am planning to collar

Has a smile as fake as veneer

it's the cat, known as smokin' revolver
