They say the small town life is the quiet life<\/p>\n
And word travels fast when something happens out here<\/p>\n
But now that someone’s missing, someone’s murdered, and something’s been stolen<\/p>\n
Everyone is claiming an alibi or to be in the clear<\/p>\n
Now mister Buffet, eager to get to work<\/p>\n
Has been brought in by the county clerk.<\/p>\n
He says he knows what happened<\/p>\n
But I know a snake if a snake there’s ever been<\/p>\n
And Buffet… Buffet knows what hit him.<\/p>\n
Death ain’t a piece of cake<\/p>\n
Especially if it shows up in the bakery.<\/p>\n
We barely narrowed the suspects down<\/p>\n
Perp’ll be caught tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Baited with something… Someone… Couldn’t resist<\/p>\n
And maybe that’s all to this case<\/p>\n
Or maybe there’s more than a fly in this small town sky<\/p>\n
I don’t know, I’m just your average gruff private eye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
