[Verse]
AClaude Rains in CasaDblanca,
He was the AFrench police Dinspector,
DA functionary Ethrough and thArough,
GA small Aman,
ARemember at the end out on the Dairstrip,
AHe could have tried to Dstop them,
DIngrid Bergman and her Efriend from the french Aresistance,
But he preGtended Anot to see,
It was a Esmall act of deDfiance,
As the stEorm broke in the Ddistance,
EHe was on their Gside after allC.D  
[Chorus]
DClaude ARains gave the order,
To C#mcollect the usual suspects,
And the Dcamera came in cElose up on his Aface,
He watched as the Aplane left the airstrip,
Like C#mhope leaves a dying Dman,
But he hung onEto the choice he'd C#mmade.
OooAoh, Claude C#mRains.
OooAoh, Claude C#mRains.
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
I Asaw a new film the other Dday,
It was Aset at the start of a Dnuclear war,
The Dactors weren't as Egood as Claude ARains,
But then there was Gnothing Athey could do,
AAll of their Esmall acts could count for AnothinDg,
As the Estorm broke in the Ddistance,
ENot much to make a Gfilm CabouDt.
[Chorus]
DClaude ARains gave the order,
To C#mcollect the usual suspects,
And the Dcamera came in cElose up on his Aface,
He watched as the Aplane left the airstrip,
Like C#mhope leaves a dying Dman,
But he hung onEto the choice he'd C#mmade.
OooAoh, Claude C#mRains.
OooAoh, Claude C#mRains.
