Mister secret agent man
Running around the globe
He carries a knife and dagger
He carries a gun and sword
Don't ask him who is he fighting
Or who is he fighting for
Just remember that I told you
Remember I told you so
Mister secret agent man
Don't know how to just say know
Bringin' coke into the country
To support the contra role
His methods they are ruthless
To him the truth is just a lie
He's got his bugs in the bedroom
