Pete, King Of The Detectives Lyrics

I'm tough as dirt, I'm mean as blood
Where, where I blow out comes spiders, where I step a weed dies
No smokes with diapers for Pete, King of All Detectives
Fall down on your knees, fall down and worship King Dick
King Dick!
My business walked out with the broken man
My business walks out with the colored man
I have no shame, I'm a hard working man
I have my pride, I'm a straight-standing man
I am Pete
When I find that man, I ply my trade
I use my wits, I use my hands
I am no drunkard, I am no colored man
I am king, I am king, I am king, I am Pete, I am Pete
I find that house, I find that chick
I find that man, I find my bitch
My name and my size, I'm back with a bang
I'm peaking, I'm peaking, I'm peaking, I'm peaking
I'm Pete
Peak, yeah, I'm Pete
I'm Pete
Peak, yeah, I'm Pete
I'm Pete
Peak, yeah, I'm Pete
Pete
Peak, yeah
Yeah!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
