  • 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 Writer/s: Tori Ellen Amos
