lyrics
They said it couldn’t be done,
They said he was-ah over the hill,
They said he was-ah flogging a dead horse well,
Now we’re all, under his spell.
Goes by the name of “The Champion Spy”,
20-20s of an eagle and eye,
Between you and me, he’s a hell of a guy,
Sooner or later boy that man’s gonna die but…
Not for all the tea in China,
Not for all the sun in Spain,
Not for all the glamour of the Hollywood Hills would I,
Give up the game.
Wish I was older and I knew,
Just what it is I want from you,
Wish I’d been bolder from the start,
Now it’s done gone fall apart.
He’s the string to everyone’s bow,
He’s in a much higher league though,
You wouldn’t know it, it’s not gonna show,
Sooner or later man that boy’s gonna grow but.
Not for all the sleaze in Vegas... mm hmm, mm hmm,
Not for all the pains of fame,
Not for all it’s glamour and it’s follies and thrills would I,
Give up the game.
Oh no...
You sold your soul and you’re the only one who knows,
You sold your soul and you’re the only one who knows,
You sold your soul and you’re the only one who knows.
They said "We're not much for fun”,
Here comes the bus though you’d better get on it,
Don’t wait for no one,
Sooner or later girl you’re gonna run it but
Happy Ransom Day!
Happy Ransom Day!
They said he was-ah over the hill,
They said he was-ah flogging a dead horse well,
Now we’re all, under his spell.
Goes by the name of “The Champion Spy”,
20-20s of an eagle and eye,
Between you and me, he’s a hell of a guy,
Sooner or later boy that man’s gonna die but…
Not for all the tea in China,
Not for all the sun in Spain,
Not for all the glamour of the Hollywood Hills would I,
Give up the game.
Wish I was older and I knew,
Just what it is I want from you,
Wish I’d been bolder from the start,
Now it’s done gone fall apart.
He’s the string to everyone’s bow,
He’s in a much higher league though,
You wouldn’t know it, it’s not gonna show,
Sooner or later man that boy’s gonna grow but.
Not for all the sleaze in Vegas... mm hmm, mm hmm,
Not for all the pains of fame,
Not for all it’s glamour and it’s follies and thrills would I,
Give up the game.
Oh no...
You sold your soul and you’re the only one who knows,
You sold your soul and you’re the only one who knows,
You sold your soul and you’re the only one who knows.
They said "We're not much for fun”,
Here comes the bus though you’d better get on it,
Don’t wait for no one,
Sooner or later girl you’re gonna run it but
Happy Ransom Day!
Happy Ransom Day!
