The Adventure of the Speckled Band.

**Verse 1:** In a manor old and gray, Where the shadows often play, Lived a doctor dark and grim, With a temper wild and dim. In that house a lady cries, With fear deep in her eyes, Her sister died in fright, On a stormy, sleepless night. **Chorus:** Oh, the speckled band, The mystery's at hand, With Sherlock Holmes so keen, To solve the unseen scheme. **Verse 2:** Helen's plea reached Baker Street, To the detective, sharp and fleet, A promise made to find, The truth that lies behind. With Watson by his side, They traveled far and wide, To the manor they arrived, Where secrets dark survived. **Chorus:** Oh, the speckled band, The mystery's at hand, With Sherlock Holmes so keen, To solve the unseen scheme. **Bridge:** A bed nailed to the floor, A bell-pull that's no more, A ventilator strange, In a house deranged. The doctor’s plan was sly, With a snake that slithered by, Through the night it crawled, And to its master's call. **Verse 3:** Holmes waited through the night, In darkness without light, Till the hiss of danger came, And he struck the serpent's flame. The doctor met his end, By the hand of his own friend, The speckled band revealed, And justice was unsealed. **Chorus:** Oh, the speckled band, The mystery's at hand, With Sherlock Holmes so keen, To solve the unseen scheme. **Outro:** Now the manor's silent and still, No more cries or evil will, The case of the speckled band, Solved by the detective's hand.
