Verse 1
Nineteen thirty-one
Tribune spit him out
Plainclothes kid
Square chin like a heavy brick
First collar Pinkie the Stabber
Gould gave him the badge
Patterson yelled rename him
Call him Dick
Pre-Chorus
Tess screams
Big Boy's boys rob the store
Tracy swears on blood
Fedora pulled down low
Chorus
Hey hey Dick Tracy
Wrist-radio crackle in the night
Wrist-radio crackle in the night
Villains crawl from the ink
Big Boy and Pruneface too
Ugly mugs for a pretty crew
Tracy makes you sing
Tracy makes you sing
Post-Chorus
Beep beep bzzt
Wrist-radio
Beep beep bzzt
Wrist-radio
Verse 2
Chief Brandon runs the shop
Straight as a steel ruler
Pat Patton ex-welder
Irish temper in the chair
Sam Catchem catch 'em fast
Riding shotgun with a grin
Junior's the orphan boy
Growing up drawing every perp
Pre-Chorus
Tess screams
Big Boy's boys rob the store
Tracy swears on blood
Fedora pulled down low
Chorus
Hey hey Dick Tracy
Wrist-radio crackle in the night
Wrist-radio crackle in the night
Villains crawl from the ink
Big Boy and Pruneface too
Ugly mugs for a pretty crew
Tracy makes you sing
Tracy makes you sing
Bridge
Gould drew heroes pretty
Gould drew villains grotesque
Big Boy
Flattop
Pruneface
The Brow
The Blank
Little Face
Shaky
Mumbles
Tracy cracks them with a right cross
Verse 3
Diet Smith is a millionaire
Milk drinking inventor
Handed over the radio
Space age before the flight
Then the Space Coupe came
Moon Maid with the laser eyes
She marries Junior
Then a car bomb ends the tale
Pre-Chorus
Tess screams
Big Boy's boys rob the store
Tracy swears on blood
Fedora pulled down low
Chorus
Hey hey Dick Tracy
Wrist-radio crackle in the night
Wrist-radio crackle in the night
Villains crawl from the ink
Big Boy and Pruneface too
Ugly mugs for a pretty crew
Tracy makes you sing
Tracy makes you sing
Post-Chorus
Beep beep bzzt
Wrist-radio
Beep beep bzzt
Wrist-radio
