It is great when I get to have a great musician in town to make some music with, and it’s even better when that musician is also working on a project with me.
This is the first in a series of 6 videos that Matthew and I made together to announce the launch of our new online music school, [my] Talent Forge. Enjoy, and sing along if you’d like!
Secret Agent Man LyricsPerformed by Johnny Rivers
Songwriters: BARRI, STEVE / SLOAN, P. F. / MATSUI, GOROO
There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you’ll give yourself away
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name
—— lead guitar ——
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name
Swingin’ on the Riviera one day
And then layin’ in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name
Secret agent man
Awesome. Your best yet. Even my husband likes it!
Excellent, Sharon. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad he likes it too.
Used to watch this many, many years ago! Was also in a rockabilly band (Stumpwater) that used to perform this piece. Glad to hear it again. Thanks.
Thanks, Norm!
Johnny Rivers is proud.
Thanks, Danny!
