Who can kill a general in his bed?

Overthrow dictators if they're Red?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Who can buy a government so cheap?

Change a cabinet without a squeak?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Who can train guerrillas by the dozens?

Send them out to kill their untrained cousins?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Who can get a budget that's so great?

Who will be the 51st state?

Who has got the secret-est service?

One that makes the other service nervous?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Who can take the sugar from a sack

Pour in LSD and put it back?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Who can mine the harbors of Nicaragua?

Outhit all the hitmen of Chicag-ua?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Who can be so overtly covert?

Sometimes ever covertly overt?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Who's the agency well known to God?

The one that copped his staff and copped his rod?

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

Fucking A-man!

CIA man!

CIA man! CIA man! CIA man! CIA man! CIA man!

CIA!
