Silk scarf and a napkin   Hidden in a drawer   Two hundred bucks in an envelope   Labeled lenore      "maybe she shouldn't see this   She should never know,"   Said the widow's best friend anne,   "i'll just take it and go      I'll give her the money later   Say it was in his shoe   That way she'll never find out...   That'll do"      "carmichael was a credit to the force   In everything he did   It's like we got a big hole in our side    Where he fit      If any of you officers    Would like to say a word   Now would be the time   To be heard"      "thank you chief, i sure would   He was a partner of mine   He was always very careful   And played it straight down the line"      One by one the officers spoke   And the service drew to a close   He had no living relatives   But his wife who never showed      She just couldn't face the men   They all understood   They got in their cars and drove home    As directly as they could      "carmichael you asshole,"   The new widow sobbed beneath her veil,   "shot down in the line of duty   Is this how justice never fails?      I wish that things were better   When we said goodbye today   But we had our share of good times though   Along the way      Remember    'hey mr. las vegas   You used to be so cool!!'   We met wayne newton down at pebble beach   And you acted like a fool      But we both just couldn't stop laughin'   It seemed so funny to us   We left our luggage back in the room and almost missed the bus      That was a great vacation   Maybe the best of all   But goddamnit carmichael you're dead now   And i'm talkin' to the wall"      The force got back to normal   Carmichael was replaced   For one year nobody parked a car   In carmichael's space
