Secret Agent Man …. come on rudy
Original performer: the ventures
There’s a man who lives 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
Don’t let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
Or 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
Swinging on the Riviera one day
Lying in a Bombay alley next day
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
