Spies lyrics

Knowing this may help you make, make it through the night on lullabies

Knowing this may help you to open up your eyes

Spies!

Everywhere from here to London Town

Tracking the thieving meanies below and above ground

Spies, that's right, spies

You see an aardvark on the underground

Then on the bridge, under the tower

In spatterdashes with a plaid umbrella

It's seems he's just a well dressed fella

Spies, that's right, spies

Knowing this may help you make, make it through the night on lullabies

Knowing this may help you to open up your eyes

Spies, that's right

That's right, spies

In a café stalking scary men

Spotting a flying saucer hovering above Big Ben

Spies, that's right, spies

They may say they're on Holiday

Grabbing a latte in a coquelicot beret

Spies, je suis spy

But that hippopotamus

Must stay anonymous for now

Yes, that hippopotamus

Must stay anonymous for now

Here from London up to Aberdeen

Ferry to Dublin, all the way down to Skibbereen

Spies, that's right, spies

Spies don't think that it's absurd

(No spy that I know does not)

Scary men dipped in mustard

(English mixed with Dijon)

Mrs Crabby Apple

Won't get custard

Won't get crumble

Spies, we love spies

Knowing this may help you make, make it through the night on lullabies

Knowing this may help you to open up your eyes with lullabies

Knowing this may help you to, help you close your eyes, get some shut eye
