Please aid me in shunting away this stupid Trivia Question Mindworm.
That snippet of song that was sung in this short...What early 1970s cop show was this the theme to?
I would hear it all the time as a little girl, since my parents used to watch it, but Dad is gone, and Mom's too old to recall it.
The next line of it went "When the going/gets narrow..." and then "Don't do the crime if ya can't do the time."
Since I got into watching Streets of San Francisco as an adult because it's entertaining to me as a resident of SF, I can rule that one out. Was it McCloud? Ironsides? McQ? Or a different one?

This was the theme to a 70's detective show called "Baretta". The first season is on DVD, if you're curious.
The song title is Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow. Several versions on YouTube, including this rundown of clips from "Baretta", which should bring back some memories:

or this longer version (which has no clips from the show):

Ah...Baretta. I knew I was missing something there in my list. Thanks to both of you for answering this for me. :)
