(four beat musical lead)
Sides face, grand square
*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

Allemande and weave
Secret agent man, secret agent man
Swing James Bond**, promenade around the ring
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number
...
Heads square thru...

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Beware of pretty faces that you'll find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Be careful what you say, you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow


*Playing on the Riviera one day
Hiding in a Bombay alley next day
You've let the wrong word slip while kissing persuasive lips
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

There's a man who leads a life of dancer
Swing thru and then spin the top
With every move he makes, recycle round that way
Reverse the flutter wheel and live to see tomorrow
Square thru three secret agent man
Swing Maxwell Smart**, promenade around the ring
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number
...
Heads square thru...
