Secret Agent Man Lyrics

Keeping tabs on our nation on the land, on the sea, in the sky

Secret agent man, secret agent man

Secret agent man, secret agent man

But they've taken away my name
You know they got me doin' this, doin' that

But not an afternoon passes I don't get up off my ass
Thank you, God, 'cause I'm
I'm a secret agent man
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given me a number
But they've taken away my name
'Cause I'm a secret agent man
