The Steve Miller Band song "Take the Money and Run" says 'Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas / You know he knows just exactly what the facts is / He ain’t gonna let those two escape justice / He makes his livin’ off other people’s taxes'

This has always perplexed me. But perhaps there is some point I have missed. Is it actually correct that Billy Mack knows exactly what the facts is rather than what the facts are? Is there some to pronounce "justice" such that it will remotely rhyme with either Texas, 'facts is' or taxes?
