Lestrade was at the pub, drinking heavily, when a song came on the background and lestrade couldn't help but change the words slightly, he was with a few other officers of Scotland Yard and Sherlock and john were there also, John having dragged Sherlock to the celebration.

Four letter word just to get me along
It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue
And I I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name (ame, ame, ame)

Sherlock stumbled over to lestrade having only had two drinks himself forced upon him by John. To be fair he was a lightweight and couldn't really handle alcohol, much like a adolescent teen.

"Hey Gavin, any new cases?" Sherlock slurred over his words, dragging John by the elbow to stand by his side.

"That's not my name Sherlock" lestrade growled annoyed.

"Graham?" Sherlock guessed, lestrade just sighed and walked away from him.

"They call me 'Gavin '
They call me 'graham'
They call me 'he'
They call me 'Geoff '
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me 'lestrade'
But I'm a riot, Sherlock you idiot
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name"

miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time at night
Lock myself away
Listen to me, I'm not
Although I'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name (ame, ame, ame)

He could see Sherlock falling over a bar stool in the distance and John now picking him up off the floor, he began to sing to the song, slowly getting louder.

He left the long bits because he didn't remember those parts, but he remembered the chorus and changed it accordingly.

"They call me 'Gavin '
They call me 'graham'
They call me 'he'
They call me 'geoff'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me 'lestrade'
But I'm a riot, Sherlock you idiot
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name"

Are you calling me darling ?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?

"They call me 'Gavin '
They call me 'graham '
They call me 'he'
They call me 'Geoff '
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me 'lestrade'
But I'm a riot, Sherlock you idiot
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name"

Soon some of Scotland Yard members joined in, shouting random names beginning with the letter g whenever the chance came up, John joined in and Sherlock just nodded his head to the beat of the music. 

"They call me 'Gavin '
They call me 'Graham'
They call me 'he'
They call me 'Geoff '
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me 'lestrade'
But I'm a riot, Sherlock you idiot
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name"

"So Gabriel, I never knew you sang!" Sherlock said disbelievingly, smiling giddily at John who elbowed him and corrected him yet again.

"They call me 'Gavin '
They call me 'Graham'
They call me 'he'
They call me 'Geoff '
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me 'lestrade '
But I'm a riot, Sherlock you idiot
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name"

The song ended and Sherlock and john were soon calling it a night thanks to the very drunk detective.

"Goodbye Greg!" John called, now carrying Sherlock away bridal style due to the fact he'd been trying to dance his way to the dance floor and John wasn't allowing it.

"Bye Gavin! Hey jawnn!" Sherlock shouted loudly over the music, waving madly at Greg.

"It's effing Greg lestrade, why can't anybody get that!?"
