(Gold/Gouldman)
You've got a job to do
You've got to do it right
You've got to be a man
They've given you a gun
Said go and have some fun
You're on the midnight run
You're all alone in the desert
Espionage rendezvous
Waiting for something to happen
But they never gave you a clue
What to do
Over a dune appears
Beautiful girl draws near
The wind begins to moan
But unbeknownst to you
She's got a job there too
Her ring's a microphone
Above you the pyramid towers
Danger, intrigue and moonlight
Will agents of two foreign powers
Meet undercover tonight
Two lonely souls in the desert
Sharing this moment in time
Where air gets so cold in the desert
Back at 10 Downing Street
The PM's on her feet
A statement to the Press
(Read All About It!)
Our man has let us down
He's nowhere to be found
Now Whitehall's in a mess
Meanwhile somewhere in the desert
Secrets are coming to light
Agents of two foreign powers
Meet undercover tonight
