Sherlock and Watson were pursuing Mr. Hyde
in London fog, on the lower east side
running through graveyards, zigzagging to and fro
the duo were determined to apprehend humanity's foe
earlier that evening, in a laboratory in town
Dr. Jekyll drank a concoction, he swallowed the poison down
he had been working feverishly to get the mixture right
he was ready to test his potion, and he planned to do it that night
the elixir did not go easy, you could say it was quite bitter
but that did not stop the scientist, not known to be a quitter
then the transformation happened, as his entire makeup changed
his face became distorted, and his brain became deranged
over agonizing moments, Dr. Jekyll lost to Hyde
you could see it in his expression, toward insanity he made the slide
appearing nothing like his former self, the monster destroyed the lab
now obvious to any observer that some victims will meet the slab
making his entrance onto the streets, the villain crept about
lurking in the shadows, his actions left no doubt
quickly gaining a lust for blood, that animal killed for sport
he found that killing was easy, for he was a vicious sort
the mayhem he was causing caught the eyes of the righteous two
that's when Sherlock and Watson joined to assist the Bobbies' crew
so, back to where we started, where the deadly game was afoot
the chase becoming intense, actually intense would be mildly put
closing in on the beastly menace, late into the hazy night
the ogre lost his footing, and from a bridge he met his plight
upon witnessing what had happened, Sherlock turned to his partner and said
"Elementary my dear Watson, now let us go catch The Ripper instead..."
