[JUSTINE]

Sweet Nancy Drew

Who knew today I'd get to be a detective?

A meter maid who's doling tickets out in downtown Duluth

I write you up if you park too far in the street

Or fail to feed a meter

Now there's something sweeter

An actual chance

To wear the pants of a bona fide sleuth

Someone just gave this meter maid a new directive

A murder case that could kick off a new career

I might not be a great detective

But I'll be today's detective

The only ticket I'll be writing is my own ticket out of here

My own ticket out of here

What do you wear to your premiere investigation?

Is it a trench coat?

Okay, maybe that is too on the nose

What kind of hat when your back's against the wall?

If this is haven't solved it

This is have solved it

What's too revealing for a killer that you wanna expose?

Someone just gave this meter maid a new directive

A murder case that could kick off a new career

I might not be a great detective

But I'll be today's detective

The only ticket I'll be writing

Oh, I'm gonna need a notebook

God, it's so exciting

Take the handcuffs off the coat hook

Ticket I'll be writing is my own ticket out of here

Great detective
