about

Wisden’s Cricketers Almanack is the oldest and most famous sports journal in the world. Full sets are rare and valuable, and just such a set exists at the library in Oshkosh, WI. When a trove of the oldest volumes goes missing, a suspect is interrogated.

Jasdeep “Jessy” Singh is the nickname of a fast bowler for Team USA.

lyrics

V1
Where were you on New Year’s Day?
I can explain I can explain
All the security gone that day (or, “away”)
I can explain I can explain
The camera on the corner saw someone there
I can explain I can explain
Your alibi better lead somewhere
I can explain I can explain

Pre
You better have your story straight
The process server is at your gate
You better know your rights
If you’re gonna fight

Ch
The crime of the century
In dear old Oshkosh at the least
It may not mean a lot to us
But only to the public trust

V2
Widens missing from the library
I can explain I can explain
1864 to 1923
I can explain I can explain
A trail of dust jackets led us to your flat
I can explain I can explain
1912 on your welcome mat
I can explain I can explain

Pre
You better have your story straight
The process server is at your gate
You better know your rights
If you’re gonna fight

Ch
The crime of the century
In dear old Oshkosh at the least
It may not mean a lot to us
But only to the public trust

Br
Maybe
You’re just guilty
Of being a completist
In topics arcane and elitist
