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
