lyrics

Many years ago there came a new breed to serve those who need
To find a loved one who's lost or feared departed
not a job for the weak or faint hearted
Paired with Trooper Fred a heroic team was formed
cause not all heroes wear capes, some wear uniforms

Bingo you know what to do
You've got the Thin Gray Line counting on you
They trust in you to find the right smell and sound
Cause if you and Trooper Fred can't find it
Then it cant be found

One September day just before sundown
A young mother went missing just outside of E-town
State Police were called and talked to husband Bill
Who said he'd last seen Rhonda on Blueball Hill
But with no sign of her they called in bloodhounds
but to their dismay there was no scent on the ground

Bingo you know what to do
You've got the Thin Gray Line counting on you
They trust in you to find the right smell and sound
Cause if you and Trooper Fred can't find it
Then it cant be found

Detectives knew Bill wasn't telling the truth
So the KSP called in the dynamic two
and in no time flat with Bingo sniffing the air
and expecting the worst the heroic pair
Had found Rhonda shot and left for dead
But alive she said "thank the good Lord for Bingo and Fred!"

Bingo you know what to do
You've got the Thin Gray Line counting on you
They trust in you to find the right smell and sound
Cause if you and Fred can't find it
Then it cant be found
