Spies

[Chorus]
Knowing this may help you make
Make it through the night
On lullabies
Knowing this may help you to
Open up your eyes
Spies

[Verse 1]
Everywhere from here to London Town
Tracking the thieving meanies below and above ground

[Refrain]
Spies
That's right
Spies

[Verse 2]
You see an aardvark on the underground
Then on the bridge, under the tower
Its spatter dashes with a plaid umbrella
It seems he's just a well-dressed fella

[Refrain]
Spies
That's right
Spies

[Chorus]
Knowing this may help you make
Make it through the night
On lullabies
Knowing this may help you to
Open up your eyes
Spies

[Refrain]
That's right, that's right
Spies

[Verse 3]
In a cafe stalking scary men
Spotting a flying saucer hovering above Big Ben

[Refrain]
Spies
That's right
Spies

[Verse 4]
They may say they're on holiday
Grabbing a latte in a coquelicot beret

[Refrain]
Spies
Je suis spy

[Interlude]
But that hippopotamus must stay anonymous for now
Yes, that hippopotamus must stay anonymous for now

[Verse 5]
Here from London up to Aberdeen
Ferry to Dublin, all the way down to Skibbereen

[Refrain]
Spies
That's right
Spies

[Bridge]
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

[Refrain]
Spies
We love
Spies

[Chorus]
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
