Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Knowing this may help you make
Make it through the night on lullabies
Knowing this may help you to
Open up your eyes
[Verse 2]
Spies
[Verse 3]
Everywhere from here to London Town
Tracking the thieving meanies below and above ground
[Verse 4]
Spies
That's right
Spies
[Verse 5]
You see an Aardvark on the underground
Then on the bridge under the tower
In spatterdashes with a plaid umbrella
It seems he's just a well dressed fella
[Verse 6]
Spies
That's right
Spies
[Verse 7]
Knowing this may help you make
Make it through the night on lullabies
Knowing this may help you to
Open up your eyes
[Verse 8]
Spies
That's right
That's right
Spies
[Verse 9]
In a café stalking scary men
Spotting a flying saucer hovering above Big Ben
[Verse 10]
Spies
That's right
Spies
[Verse 11]
They may say they're on holiday
Grabbing a latte in a coquelicot beret
[Verse 12]
Spies
Je suis
Spy
[Verse 13]
But that hippopotamus must stay anonymous for now
Yes, that hippopotamus must stay anonymous for now
[Verse 14]
Here from London up to Aberdeen
Ferry to Dublin all the way down to Skibbereen
[Verse 15]
Spies
That's right
Spies
[Verse 16]
Spies don't think that it's absurd
(No spy that I know does not)
Scary men dipped in mustard
(English mixed with Dijon)
And Mrs. Crabby-Apple
Won't get custard
Won't get crumble
[Verse 17]
Spies
We love
Spies
[Verse 18]
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
[Verse 19]
Knowing this may help you to
Help you close your eyes
Get some shut-eye
