fritz weaver, peter sallis, patrick horgan, daniel keyes - it's so simple lyrics

[sherlock holmes]
sit down, my dear captain gregg + or is it lieutenant?

[captain gregg]
captain? lieutenant? what makes you think i’m in the army at all, for that matter?

[sherlock holmes]
come, come, your profession isn’t hard to perceive
your manner, your bearing
the very clothes you’re wearing
that handkerchief tucked in your sleeve
a military custom, i believe?
of course, you’re an officer
sandhurst, am i right?
and you’re too young for a major and so i should gauge you’re a captain

[captain gregg]
well, i’ll be [?]. sir, i’m amazed

[sherlock holmes]
you show surprise
and yet the facts are thеre before your vеry eyes

[refrain: sherlock holmes]
and it’s so simple, sublimely simple
if you learn not just to see, but to observe
put your brain to work, not just the optic nerve
if you put your mind to use
you will find the most abstruse
becomes so simple
[refrain: doctor watson]
oh yes, so simple
just as simple as a simple thing can be

[sherlock holmes]
and it’s hardly very hard
to see he’s in the palace guard

[doctor watson]
oh, no, it’s simple as abc

[captain gregg]
now, wait a minute
how did you know i was in the palace guard?

[sherlock holmes]
my dear captain
the line of your sunburn, straight across your brow
no cap with a visor makes that mark
and i, sir, ask what type of headgear could possibly do that
a brimless, bearskin hat
now, who wears a busby?
answer that to then
all other suppositions you discard
just guardsmen
and only when on+duty in the palace yard
[captain gregg]
well, i’ll be [?]

[sherlock holmes]
does it astound?
what other possible solution could be found?

[refrain: sherlock holmes]
it’s all so simple, absurdly simple
why do people always fail to realize
that it’s not enough to merely use their eyes?
they keep going ’round half+blind
never using what’s behind

[refrain: doctor watson]
you see it’s simple

[refrain: captain gregg]
oh, yes, it’s simple

[refrain: doctor watson & captain gregg]
however difficult it might at first appear

[refrain: sherlock holmes]
and it isn’t hard to place
there’s a woman in the case
[refrain: doctor watson & captain gregg]
oh, no it’s simple
so very simple
it’s as simple+

[doctor watson]
+now, holmes, look here
how on earth could you know that there’s a woman involved in his case?

[sherlock holmes]
the same way i know that you sent off a telegram today
you did send a telegram?

[doctor watson, laughing]
yes, but how+

[sherlock holmes, to captain gregg]
your problem is a woman?

[captain gregg]
yes, but+

[sherlock holmes]
now, my dear watson
please examine the heel of your slipper
you’ll note a trace of clay there
the colour of a kipper
that hue is my clue
and it makes the case complete
for that clay is only found
where they’re digging up the ground
at the doorway to the post office on wigmore street

[doctor watson]
holmes

[sherlock holmes]
and as for you, sir
as far as i can see
the reason for your nervousness can only be one of three:
either a mortal threat
or a very pressing debt
or the utterly inhuman machinations of a woman who is possibly toying at destroying your career
is it she, or money, or terror brings you here?
now, from your bravery tonight
it would surely appear
that if anything at all, it isn’t violence you fear
and you gave that so+called beggar so much money that it’s clearly the last alternative
and positive i am when i say:
chercher la femme

[captain gregg]
why, sir, you’re right

[inspector lestrade]
a child could do it

[doctor watson]
once you you get the knack
there’s really nothing to it

[refrain: captain gregg]
why, it’s so simple
absurdly simple

[refrain: all, except sherlock holmes]
it’s as obvious as two and two make four

[sherlock holmes]
rudimentary deduction, nothing more

[refrain: doctor watson]
though at first we were impressed

[refrain: inspector lestrade]
we see now that at its best

[refrain: all, except sherlock holmes]
it’s all so simple

[refrain: sherlock holmes]
it’s more than simple
it’s the very essence of simplicity

[refrain: captain gregg & doctor watson]
no, we cannot disagree

[inspector lestrade]
or as any fool can see

[refrain: all, except sherlock holmes]
it’s all so simple
oh, yes, it’s simple

[captain gregg]
simple

[doctor watson]
easy

[inspector lestrade]
[?]

[captain gregg]
basic

[inspector lestrade]
child’s play

[doctor watson]
plainly as evident as evidence can be

[sherlock holmes]
it’s…
elementary
