Lyrics
Secret agent man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name.
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Swingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Secret agent man
