The Secret Service ~ Sandy Stewart
- The "secret service" makes
me nervous
- when I am dating they are waiting to
observe us
- when I get ready to hold steady for
the "kiss" you plan
- the "secret service" makes
me nervous and I can't!
-
- They're always spying, no denying
- they're always peeping, gumshoe
creeping, private eying
- when I'm beginning to give-inning like
a maiden aunt
- the "secret service" makes
me nervous and I can't!
-
- I've been exposed beyond control
- just like a "goldfish" in a
bowl!
-
- The President's daughter must drink
water
- no drink of "scotch" she
might do what she hadn't otter
- when I'm ignited, so excited that I
start to "pant"
- the "secret service" makes
me nervous
- when my lamps are lit
- and I say "This is it!"
-
- . . . the "secret
service" makes me nervous
- and I can't!
-
- The "secret service" makes
me nervous
- those White House "dicks"
get all their kicks
- when they observe us!
- Just as I wind up, make my mind up,
not to say "I won't"
- the "secret service" makes
me nervous and I don't!
-
- When things look "rosy" they
get nosy
- they'll say there's "tootsie"
playing "footsie" very cosy
- my pulse goes higher, I'm on fire,
shakin' at the knees
- the "secret service" makes
me nervous and I freeze!
-
- Whatever I may do or say
- will be reported the next day!
- They don't see clearly when I'm merely
being courted
- When I'm just "necking"
simply "pecking" with a "Cary Grant"
- they stand behind me to remind me
"who" and "what" I am
- . . . when I don't give a
"?X?X" ( ooh ahh ahh! )
- the "secret service" makes
me nervous and I CAN'T!
