Boo Boo Baby

I’m involved in a dangerous game,
Every other day I change my name,
The face is different but the body’s the same,
Boo, boo, baby, I’m a spy!

You have heard of Mata Hari,
We did business cash and carry,
Poppa caught us and we had to marry,
Boo, boo, baby, I’m a spy!

Now, as a lad, I’m not so bad,
In fact, I’m a darn good lover,
But look my sweet, let’s be discreet,
And do this under cover.

I’m so cocky I could swagger,
The things I know would make you stagger,
I’m ten percent cloak and ninety percent dagger,
Boo, boo, baby, I’m a spy!

“There was actually a song about this that was often played in Istanbul called ‘Boo Boo Baby I’m a spy,'” Rubin said. “When the head of the American intelligence would walk into the ballroom of the Park Hotel, the band would strike up this song.” --Boo Boo Baby
